Lee & Muirhead Pvt. Ltd. (L&M), the Group’s flagship company, was acquired by the Parikh family from its promoters in 1945. L&M developed from customs brokerage into a leading logistics service provider.

Today, after merging the general cargo services into the DHL joint venture, L&M provides integrated logistics services for infrastructure and industrial projects and bulk cargo, along with charters, shipping, port handling and related services.

In 2003, Deutsche Post World Net (DPWN), the owners of DHL Logistics, and the Parikh family entered into a strategic joint venture DHL Danzas Lemuir Pvt. Ltd. (DDL) for international air and ocean transportation.

In 2007, DPWN / DHL and the Parikh family expanded the joint venture into DHL Lemuir Logistics Pvt Ltd., by combining DDL, Exel India Pvt. Ltd. (a DHL / DPWN acquisition) and Lemuir’s customs brokerage and supply chain services for general cargo.

In 2012, the Lemuir Group decided to strategically focus on their core business of special cargoes, and hence decided to exit the JV with Deutsche Post DHL. DP DHL and Lemuir, through their heritage organisations, have shared a long and fruitful association for over 30 years through agency and joint ventures. The two organisations continue to closely co-operate in areas of common business interest.

In 1983 Lemuir Express was established to provide door-to-door logistics services for the Indian gems and jewellery trade. LE’s integrated logistics systems for valuables deliver diamonds, jewellery, gems and other precious commodities across the world in close association with the global network of Ferrari SpA, leading specialist logistics partners in key markets.

In 2004, Lemuir Secure Logistics was set up to provide integrated logistics services for the bullion industry. LSL arranges international & domestic transportation, customs clearance, vaulting & security transportation of bullion, including the physicals of ETFs in India. LSL also provides specialist services for domestic distribution of diamonds & jewellery, handling of jewellery shows, luxury goods & fine art.

Lemuir Air Express commenced one of the earliest airfreight consolidation services in India, to augment its air export services in operation since 1976. LAE merged its international services into DDL in 2003, and today provides domestic air cargo services in India.

Throughout Lemuir's growth and development, the culture and values of the Family have been inculcated across the organisation. The Group's corporate vision envelops its business objectives with a strong sense of business ethics and social responsibility.

Lemuir's contribution to the country's national industry associations is widely acknowledged. The Air Cargo Agents Association of India, the Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations in India, the Travel Agents Association of India, have all been headed as President by Mr. Arvind Parikh, the Group Chairman. His vision and leadership abilities eventually positioned him as President of FIATA, the International Federation of Freight Forwarders' Associations. He also served for several years as Vice Chairman, Air Transport Committee of the International Chamber of Commerce.

Snehal Parikh, Managing Director, has also served as Vice President of FIATA, Vice Chairman, Air Transport Committee of the ICC, and President of the Air Cargo Agents Association of India. He is a member of the Civil Aviation Ministry's Economic Advisory Council and Working Group on Air Cargo.

Lemuir's management participates in and contributes to various government fora, and several Chambers of Commerce and other trade bodies in India.
