The name Baku derives from the surnames of Mary Barry and Uwe Kuhn, who began the company in the millenium year 2000.
Baku GLS Ltd. began business in a small warehouse at Killinick, Co. Wexford, Ireland. In 2000 Uwe Kuhn, Mary Kuhn and Leslie Devereux - the three directors with almost 55 years Logistics and Transport experience behind them - had a vision to become the partner of choice for Multinational Forwarding Companies that had facilities in Ireland.
With just two articulated trucks, we offered the Freight Forwarding community an extra option in the form of secure, confidential and personal transport service between Ireland and Europe.
In 2004, the fleet had increased to 14 vehicles, a larger warehouse and handling facility, and a staff of 18 people including professional drivers. Baku was now providing exceptional services to most of the major Freight Forwarders that had facilities in Ireland.
2008 saw Baku moving premises to a new purpose-built Logistics Centre at Rosslare Harbour, complete with storage facilities, dock-levelers and fully secured, just 5 minutes from Rosslare Europort.
Current office staff (2010) is 11 people, and we operate and control in excess of 40 International vehicles.
We now offer our clients full Logistical facilities on-site - storage, distribution, international transport, stock-control and order-picking services. Our client base is now Europe-wide representing all industry sectors with particular emphasis on Pharmaceuticals, Medical Device, Automotive and Hi-Tech sectors.
Our Sister-company - www.biostor.eu is involved in Cryogenic Storage and transport, and is Irish Medicines Board approved.
