Who we are

At Azhars International Inc., we don’t just move cargo; we bridge worlds. We operate on the belief that global trade is about seamlessly connecting the best resources with the markets that value them most.

Our operations are global. From the vast agricultural fields of Canada to the bustling ports of the Middle East, we keep the supply chain in motion. Whether we are shipping premium Canadian lumber and nutritious pulses—like lentils, kidney beans, and chickpeas—to families in Pakistan, Oman, and Saudi Arabia, or supplying high-value liquidation electronics and appliances to the UAE and Qatar, we handle the complexities of logistics so you don’t have to.

But we don't just send goods out—we bring quality home. We are proud to be the exclusive Canadian gateway for GP Dewan Soap Industries, introducing their world-class luxury soaps to the Canadian market.

Big or small, grown or manufactured—if it needs to cross an ocean, Azhars International gets it there.

Leadership & Vision

Azhars International Inc. is built on a foundation of financial discipline and global ambition. Founded by Sami Azhar, the company is the result of over a decade of dual-industry mastery. Since entering the import/export sector in 2011, Sami has navigated the complexities of international trade with a unique strategic edge: a robust background in high-level financial management.

While scaling the company from a local operation to a multi-national trading house, Sami simultaneously held key managerial roles within the finance industry. This experience wasn't just a career path; it was a masterclass in risk assessment, asset management, and sustainable growth.

Today, this unique background allows Azhars International Inc. to operate differently than standard logistics firms. We don't just understand shipping routes; we understand market fluctuations, deal structuring, and the bottom-line value of every transaction. Under Sami's leadership, the company continues to bridge continents with the precision of a financial institution and the agility of a global entrepreneur.
