Building the network the industry actually trusts

What started as a handful of forwarders vouching for each other has grown into a vetted alliance spanning 120+ countries — without losing the trust that made it work in the first place.

Our story

Two forwarders, one handshake, and a problem worth solving

Logistics Global Network began in 2002 when a small group of independent freight forwarders got tired of losing shipments to partners they couldn't fully vet. They built a shared standard: financial checks, reference checks, and a code of conduct every member had to sign before joining.

Two decades later, that same standard is why forwarders in Hamburg can hand a shipment to a partner in Santos they've never met — and trust it'll arrive the way it's supposed to.

Mission, vision, and values

Mission

To give independent freight forwarders the trusted global reach that only the largest multinationals could otherwise afford.

Vision

A world where any two vetted forwarders, anywhere, can do business with the same confidence as long-standing partners.

Values

Verification over volume, transparency in every introduction, and a code of conduct we actually enforce.
