FreePL is part of Swift Group, established in 1991 as Swift Freight. Over the years, the Group earned the trust of global companies as a logistics agent and partner, growing into a market leader and expanding its operations across multiple sectors under Swift Group.
Since 1991, SWIFT Group has launched several companies across the logistics industry, each built to solve a specific part of the supply chain, from IOR/EOR and regulatory services to customs clearance, port trucking, freight, and warehousing solutions.
Since 2016, Swift Egypt has also evolved beyond its original back-office Importer of Record services into a commercial and investment arm that continues to drive the Group’s growth while building on decades of operational expertise, industry knowledge, and trusted relationships.
FreePL was founded in 2023 with our unique approach in mind. We saw that traditional logistics models and fixed structures no longer fully match how modern businesses operate. Because 1PL, 2PL, 3PL, and 4PL simply aren’t enough, we created FreePL.
