Global Logistics, Personal Approach

BERKMAN, SINCE 1903

About us
Berkman Forwarding delivers integrated transport solutions across the supply chain for
cargo to & from India to businesses worldwide. We are a daughter company of Berkman
Holding, a more than a century old enterprise in The Netherlands.

Where it all began

Berkman Forwarding BV in Netherlands was established in 1988 and within few years, they
became one of the major players in Asia Europe Business Trade. The management, being
extremely service minded, always believed in working either through their own offices or
exclusive partners/associates. They started their own China operations in 1998 and
considering the potential India market had to offer, the first branch in New Delhi was
incorporated in 2004.

Today
Today Berkman Forwarding has grown to a midsize freight forwarder with fourteen (14)
offices in eight (8) countries. Worldwide we work with more than 70 exclusive and reliable
partners; serving over 2000 satisfied customers and handling an volume of more than
1,00,000 Teu's a year.

Future
Berkman Forwarding has managed to achieve success throughout the economic downturn
and has plans in place to expand even further in the near future. Our aim is to open a new
office every year. Joint venture in Australia with BR International in 2014 strengthened the
worldwide network. The company now aims at starting more offices in USA, Mexico and
South America.
We realize that todays evolution becomes tomorrows expectation. And thus, we are
constantly working on creating unique and endtoend supply chain solutions for our clients.
We have recently diversified into warehousing, pickandpack and direct distribution. In the
last few years, we have also implemented a supply chain solution based on building in China
directtostore containers / deliveries to India and the rest of the world.

CREATING PARTNERS GLOBALLY

What sets us apart

compromise on quality in order to secure a business.

global competitors there is a human face and a reality to our commitment.
We also ensure that our clients remain in contact with only 12 people for all their logistics
questions and requirements.
Global strength
Strong Coverage worldwide through our own offices and exclusive partners. We believe
todays evolution becomes tomorrows expectations.

We are not facilitators, we are problem solvers. We love a challenge and if there is a better
process, service or solution available we will find one.
