From a Customs Desk to a Global Group

35 years, one idea: move cargo carefully, transparently and on time.

Our Story

From a Customs Desk to a Global Group

OriginEx began in 1989 as a two-person customs brokerage at Shanghai Hongqiao airport — clearing shipments by day and learning every tariff line by night.

Word spread. Shippers asked us to arrange the flight, then the truck, then the whole journey — and the group grew with them. Air freight became our core, extended by sea freight, forwarding, insurance, distribution and our own software.

Today OriginEx is an international transport group with 45 offices and partner hubs in 120+ countries and regions. The services have multiplied; the idea has not changed.
