Our History
Established in 1888, Power Packing first began its stride into the shipping industry over 130 years ago into a place much tougher and manual than the world we all know today. Shipping at that time was driven mainly by cargo ships, horse & carts, and many other forms of transport available at the time. This drive in industry gave the general population the chance to experience the foods and products produced by up-and-coming nations all over the world such as coffee, spices, rice, wooden sculptures, pottery and many other types of goods for us to enjoy.
Now in the 21st century, global shipping has become a phenomenon in its own right. Shipments can now be delivered anywhere on the globe within just a few days, and we now have access to many different and cost-effective modes of transport via Road, Air and Sea freight. Shipping can now be customized based on your specific time frame and your costs; the possibilities are endless. Small and fragile Items, to industrial machines weighing many tons, we’ve done it all. The fact we’re still around to testament to our quality and the services we provide, for commercial and personal shipments alike.
