Century Express is an outgrowth of the company’s NVO division Century Shipping, founded in 2005. Century Shipping has been operating in several trade lines for the past 6 years, predominantly Asia/Europe and Asia/Australia, but did not hold licenses to operate in the inbound/outbound U.S. trade.
“Our newest division, Century Express, is meant to round out our pre-existing NVO service offering and complement our thriving buyer’s consolidation business,” said Bill McGough, Vice President of Sales and Account Support for Century Distribution. “We definitely see this as an opportunity to win new business outright and, importantly, expand upon the services we can provide to our existing customer partners.”
He added that between Century Shipping and Century Express, the company can service trade lanes globally, including eastbound and westbound transpacific. “We will not, however, be limiting our focus to just transpacific inbound,” McGough said. “All the same owned offices and agents that manage our buyer’s consolidation business will be hands-on with the Century Express business,” McGough added. “That adds up to 48 countries we service out of 100-plus cargo handling facilities in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Australia, South America and Central America.”
