Amaj Shaygan Aras stands in Jolfa, on the Aras river border — where goods enter Iran, rest in our warehouses, and reach all 31 provinces through our distribution network. In the other direction, we move your cargo from Iran to Türkiye, the Caucasus, Iraq, Russia and Europe.
About Amaj Shaygan Aras
Amaj Shaygan Aras (ASH) is a privately held Iranian company headquartered in Jolfa. The location is deliberate: Jolfa is one of the key border crossings of north-west Iran, and the corridors to Türkiye, Nakhchivan, Azerbaijan — and onward to Russia and Europe — begin here.
On the distribution side, we represent and distribute beverage and fast-moving consumer brands across Iran: from cold storage and warehousing to field sales reps, from wholesale to retail. On the freight side, we run road, rail and multimodal transit with full customs clearance, from Iran to abroad and from abroad into Iran.
Our team works with you in Persian, Turkish, Kurdish, Arabic, Russian and English — because trade in this region means speaking the other side's language.
You know the price, schedule and status of every shipment before it moves.
Committed delivery windows, a dedicated fleet, and warehouses at origin and destination.
From the border to the last shop in a small town — without extra middlemen.

From a distribution agreement to store-door delivery; from an international waybill to customs release. Six core services under one roof.
Capillary distribution of FMCG across 31 provinces with refrigerated and dry fleet, field sales team and online order system.
Importing, registering, marketing and selling foreign brands in Iran. We have done it for Red Bull and Laimon Fresh and are ready to do it for yours.

Covered warehouses, cold rooms and open yards in Jolfa and Tabriz with WMS, barcoding and cargo insurance.
Import and export on your behalf: from finding a supplier and negotiating to payment, transport and final delivery.
Brands we distribute

Nationwide distribution of Red Bull cans in all flavours and pack sizes, with cold chain and presence in chain stores, petrol stations, cafés and gyms.
