historical silk road in modern times

Re-imagining ancient Silk Road success in modern ways

08 February 2023

The term ‘Silk Road’ refers to the many trade routes that were established in ancient times in efforts to connect and conduct trade between Europe and Asia. These routes were significant because they were the foundation of development both on cultural and economic levels between the two regions, while also influencing the many regions they passed through – one of which is Azerbaijan – the home base of One Touch Trade and Logistics.

Inspired by our mission “to develop partnerships, connect businesses, and build bridges between countries through logistics”, we have set out to revive and modernize the ancient art of trading along the Silk Road. This has been made possible through the development of two main trading routes that run from East to West. The first is our “South-east to North-west” route which has the ultimate purpose to join and encourage trade between Indonesia and Russia, while the second one has access from China directly to Europe in what we call our “East-West” route.

A major advantage to using these specific trade routes comes with the many countries that they pass through – thus giving our clients a wider reach if they decide to expand their business between the intermediate countries such as Kazakhstan, India, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Georgia, Iran, and Dubai – all of which we currently deliver to.
