At Expeditors, our industry professionals, award winning processes and globally unified systems ensure that we always live up to our promise, "You'd be surprised how far we'll go for you." At Expeditors, we know Lantau Island as the location where Peter Rose and James Wang met to solidify an idea to form a new company because of their dissatisfaction with the opportunities made available to them by their current employer. Their dream was to create an organization focused on its employees with performance based incentive programs and front line decision making. This organization would also focus on best in class customer service. The principle that employees should share in the success of the company is still the foundation of Expeditors today. Expeditors' innovative model was to combine transportation services and customs brokerage. With an initial focus on U.S. inbound freight from Asia, Expeditors quickly became one of the largest U.S.-based air freight forwarders of goods from the Far East. By staying true to our core values, Expeditors has grown organically from one to over 250 offices across the globe and now provides a comprehensive menu of logistics services and employs more than 14,600 industry professionals.
