About Us: History

HISTORY

CargoTrans, Inc.
CargoTrans was established in 1989 and we are one of the leading providers of Customs Brokerage, consolidation and freight forwarding services.  Our business is much more than getting freight from one point to another.  We facilitate and support trade and industry in the global exchange of goods.  Whether land, air or ocean, CargoTrans has the knowledge and capabilities to reach every corner of the world. 

The world of global trade and logistics is more challenging than ever before. Together with increasingly complex international trade agreements and compliance issues as well as heightened security concerns, businesses need the support of knowledgeable trade experts. CargoTrans, together with its sister company, MariTrans Shipping, is your single source for global trade and logistics requirements.

MariTrans Shipping, Ltd
MariTrans Shipping was established in 1995 as an NVOCC to compliment the services of MariTrans in Chile.  Our office in Chile has provided us with great insight for the U.S.-to-South America trade lane and we have successfully secured a substantial market share for this traffic. 

Today, we have expanded our presence to all ends of the globe due to our motivation to form partnerships with our clients and to provide manageable solutions for any situation that may arise.  We have managed to diversify the commodities that we ship from construction materials to the machines that are used to handle the materials; we also handle textiles, furniture, marble, tiles, tires, cranes, glass, spare parts, etc.

Goal:
To be recognized as a first-class service provider through our dedication to customer service and by maintaining our superior and ethical business practices in the support and development of our People and our business.

Culture:
Started as a family business, fraternity is at the core of our identity and resonates throughout our entire operation.  Our familial relationships with our clients are professional and our caring attitude is genuine.  Our people are confident and experienced.  The CargoTrans family works together to promote excellence and to do the best job possible whether you’re shipping one carton or one container. 

Fairness, honesty and dignity are highly regarded and remain at the forefront of our business practices.  As with any family, CargoTrans is always ready for change, in fact we welcome it; we realize that in an increasingly global business environment the needs of our clients, vendors and organization are constantly evolving. 

What sets us apart is the personalized attention our clients receive from our highly talented and seasoned team of professionals.
