As world trade has expanded since U-Freight was established in 1968, we've opened wholly owned subsidiaries throughout Asia, North America and Europe. We've also forged strong strategic alliances with regionally strong partners in Europe, the Middle East, the Indian sub-continent and South and Central America.

These partnerships have been developed very carefully and are long lasting - for instance we are celebrating more than 30 years working with Alphatrans in Germany.

Today, our international network consists of wholly owned and exclusive partner facilities in 65 countries around the globe.

This collective network enables us to offer competitively priced global transport solutions, combining market coverage as wide as any multinational competitor whilst retaining the advantage of genuine local market knowledge.

The fact that we have worked with so many of our partners around the world for many years suggests that independence within a co-operative framework suits our business.

Furthermore, modern communication methods and the Internet have improved the integration of our network and made it function more effectively for our customers.
