KARACHI: Blue-Ex Limited, one of Pakistan’s foremost transport and logistics companies, has successfully credited its initial public offering (IPO) shares into the accounts of shareholders, completing a significant chapter in the company’s growth story.
The shares were digitally deposited into investors’ Central Depository System (CDS) accounts as of December 24, following the company’s official migration to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) Main Board.
Founded on December 12, 2005, as Universal Network Systems Limited, Blue-Ex operated under the Companies Ordinance, 1984, before the introduction of the Companies Act, 2017. In early 2024, the company rebranded itself as Blue-Ex Limited, aligning its corporate identity with the widely recognized “Blue-EX” brand that had already become a household name in Pakistan’s logistics and e-commerce sectors.
Blue-Ex’s core operations span cargo forwarding, domestic and international courier services, and integrated logistics management. The company has long been recognized as a pioneer in the e-commerce delivery space, being the first in Pakistan to launch Cash-on-Delivery (COD) services in 2011—a development that fundamentally changed the way online shopping operated in the country.
The 2025 IPO represents a pivotal moment in Blue-Ex’s market journey. Originally listed on the PSX’s Growth Enterprise Market (GEM) Board in 2021, the company’s migration to the Main Board positions it among Pakistan’s leading publicly listed firms.
The IPO involved offering one million shares to the public at a fixed price of Rs.65 per share. With the successful crediting of these shares, Blue-Ex completes the final step in its capital-raising and market integration process, opening new avenues for investor engagement and future growth.
Market analysts suggest that Blue-Ex’s Main Board listing is likely to attract heightened investor attention, particularly as the logistics and e-commerce sectors continue to expand rapidly across Pakistan. The move also signals the company’s readiness to take on larger operational challenges while reinforcing its position as a market innovator.
Over two decades, Blue-Ex has evolved from a modest logistics operator into a benchmark name in Pakistan’s transport sector, blending technological innovation with customer-centric services. Its successful IPO share credit not only celebrates the company’s financial milestone but also underscores its long-term commitment to growth, efficiency, and service excellence in a competitive and dynamic market.
