Our story
Founded in the Netherlands, built on relationships
Vemar Global Shipping B.V. was founded in Lienden, the Netherlands, in 2009 by a small team of carrier and customs professionals who believed freight forwarding could be done with more transparency and less noise. Fifteen years on, we move more than 48,000 shipments a year by sea, air, road and rail, yet every client still has a named coordinator who knows their business.
We have grown deliberately: vetted partner agents in more than 150 countries, a network of bonded partner warehouses, an in-house customs brokerage with AEO status and a project division trusted by energy and infrastructure clients. What has not changed is the promise we make on every booking: honest transit times, all-in pricing and news before you have to ask for it.
What we stand for
Four principles behind every shipment
Transparency
