King City Forwarding has a long and storied history in the logistics and transportation industry. As a company dedicated to providing reliable freight forwarding services, King City Forwarding has continually evolved to meet the demands of a dynamic market. This page offers a glimpse into the key milestones that have shaped its journey.

​

Founded in 1977 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, King City Forwarding began as a small local freight forwarding service focused on providing regional transportation solutions. With an unwavering commitment to customer service and efficient logistics, the company quickly earned a reputation for reliability and excellence.

 

The early team at King City Forwarding emphasized personalized attention to clients and cost-effective shipping solutions, which set the company apart in a competitive marketplace.

 

By the late 1990s, King City Forwarding had grown beyond its local roots, expanding its reach across Canada. As trade and commerce flourished globally, the company adapted to an increasingly interconnected world by establishing strong partnerships with international carriers. This allowed the company to offer global freight forwarding services to a wider range of industries, from lumber to manufacturing and equipment.

 

During this time, King City Forwarding expanded its services to include air, ocean, and ground freight. The addition of these services helped to diversify the company's capabilities and ensured that customers could rely on a single provider for all their shipping needs.

 

The early 2000s brought new challenges to the transportation and logistics industry, including the rise of e-commerce, rapidly changing global supply chains, and increasing demand for real-time tracking. King City Forwarding responded to these challenges by investing in state-of-the-art technology to improve operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.

​

In 2013, King City Forwarding expanded to the U.S., establishing a base in Chesapeake, VA. King City Forwarding brings the same personalized attention and cost-effective freight forwarding solutions to U.S. clients that the company’s Canadian clients have enjoyed since 1977. Now in its second decade in the U.S., King City Forwarding remains focused on delivering exceptional service and innovative logistics solutions to meet the unique needs of all our clients.

​

Today, King City Forwarding stands as a leader in the logistics and freight forwarding industry. With decades of experience, an extensive global network, and a reputation for outstanding customer service, the company has become a trusted partner for businesses across industries. As the logistics landscape continues to evolve, King City Forwarding remains committed to innovation, sustainability, and customer satisfaction. The company is dedicated to evolving with the changing needs of the industry while maintaining the values that have guided it since its founding.

​

As we move into the future, King City Forwarding is excited about the opportunities ahead. With ongoing investments in technology, sustainability, and employee development, we are poised to continue leading the way in global freight forwarding and logistics solutions.

​

From humble beginnings to a prominent leader in the logistics industry, King City Forwarding has continuously adapted to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world. Through dedication, innovation, and a commitment to excellence, the company looks forward to many more years of service to its customers.
