Sammi Daewoo Pakistan

Kim Chang-il is the CEO of Sammi Daewoo Pakistan. Daewoo Bus service is very popular with frequent travels taking inter-city trips by roads in Pakistan. It is the largest road transport company in Pakistan with its presence in more than 30 cities. The Sammi Daewoo Pakistan Express Bus Service started its operation on the Motorway between Islamabad and Lahore (M-2) since 1998. It is one of the most reliable, punctual and comfortable services in transportation and has been able to set a model to other competing bus service companies. Now it has about 300 buses that are operating on different routes throughout the country, and also provides job opportunities to more than 4,000 people.

Sammi Daewoo claims that for the very first time in history of traveling services, they set standards that were associated with the airlines such as a hostess, providing refreshments and audio/video entertainment. SAMMI Daewoo has been pursuing its plan to develop nationwide network of its service covering the far off areas in near future. Their service has already been extended to almost all the major cities of Punjab, NWFP and Sind.

Recently, Daewoo has achieved another hall mark by establishing a state of the art ‘Daewoo International Standard Workshop’ and has thus far invested 5 million dollars in this new project –which is located near Lahore. This workshop is unique and the special feature is that it provides professional vocational training to the local workforce through their Vocational Training Center – which demonstrates their commitment and the unceasing endeavors of the Daewoo Express to provide more comfortable and safer services to its passengers by guaranteeing the trouble-free operation of the vehicles.

They are also making their mark as the trustworthy and efficient cargo service company operating 24/7 and connecting most of the major cities of Pakistan. Their rates are very reasonable.

Daewoo was one of the major donors from Korea and they donated 10 million rupees for the flood victims besides providing logistic help.

While visiting their website, I downloaded their monthly magazine ‘Hamari Manzilen’ (http://www.sammi.com.pk/flyer/Mag_August_2010.pdf) and to my surprise, it is one of the very good reads that shows more Pakistaniat (Pakistani-ness) than any other magazine. If I have to rate Hamari Manzilen, I will give it 8 out of 10 points. It has a beautiful green background and it starts off with portraits of Jinnah and Iqbal followed by articles on them. Thankfully, no politician on the cover and this is refreshing!

On the whole, Sammi Daewoo Pakistan is definitely an important player in building trust and strong friendship between Pakistan and Korea through its services.
