Eagle Logistics celebrated its 10th anniversary this week with religious activities at their corporate office 281, R. A. De Mel Mawatha, Colombo-03. In a media statement, Eagle Logistics said its roots date back to 2005 when its CEO Asanga Weerackody created the name of Eagle Logistics and with CL Synergy helping the back office operations. CL Synergy is the co-partner for Eagle Logistics Colombo since its inception. CL Synergy is an 11 year old freight company which has three more similar joint ventures in the industry.
