Jeena, OEC reaffirm partnership to boost India–Canada trade

Jeena & Company and OEC Group Canada have reaffirmed their long-standing strategic partnership to strengthen logistics connectivity and trade facilitation between India and Canada.

The partnership, built on years of collaboration and mutual trust, aims to enhance the India–Canada trade corridor by offering integrated freight, warehousing, and end-to-end supply chain solutions. The two companies said they will continue to provide reliable, efficient and customer-focused logistics services to businesses operating across both markets.

By combining Jeena’s strong operational network across India with OEC Group’s established presence in Canada, the partnership will deliver seamless logistics solutions covering ocean and air cargo. These include specialised teams for project cargo, integrated warehousing, free trade zone fulfilment, last-mile delivery support, customs clearance, and technology-driven platforms for shipment visibility, purchase order management, reporting, and tracking.

The companies highlighted the growing trade relationship between India and Canada, noting that trade in goods and services between the two countries has exceeded $23 billion in recent times. Key exports from India include pharmaceuticals, engineering goods, textiles, seafood, and gems and jewellery, while Canada exports pulses, fertilisers, paper, energy resources, and critical minerals to India. Emerging sectors such as clean energy, technology, and manufacturing are also seeing growth, underlining the importance of the trade corridor.

As part of the partnership, customers will benefit from full container load (FCL) sailing options from major Indian ports to key Canadian gateways, supporting both general and specialised cargo. Less-than-container load (LCL) consolidation services will also be offered with fixed schedules, competitive pricing, and optimised transit times for smaller shipments.

The collaboration will also include integrated air freight services, offering both economy and express options for time-sensitive cargo and charter requirements. These services will be supported by advanced shipment tracking, proactive exception management, and solutions tailored for industries such as pharmaceuticals, automotive, retail, and engineering, ensuring compliance, security, and reliability across the supply chain.

Prediman Koul, Chief Executive Officer of Jeena & Company, said the partnership has consistently delivered value to customers through efficient cargo movement, reliable service standards, and strong coordination across both markets.

Bibeau, Executive Chairman of OEC Group, said the relationship is based on mutual trust, integrity, and shared values, with a focus on service excellence and customer-centric operations, while supporting the continued growth of trade between India and Canada.

Both leaders noted that the Indian subcontinent is expected to remain a key driver of global trade over the next two decades, offering significant long-term growth opportunities.

Jeena & Company, founded in 1900, operates across 60 countries and six continents, with 27 offices in India. The company provides logistics and supply chain solutions across sectors including pharmaceuticals, life sciences, automotive, defence, and project logistics.
