ABOUT US

From the time Muller Shipping Corporation was established shortly after World War II, our primary business has been the shipment of humanitarian relief goods throughout the world... starting with the famous ‘CARE Packages’ sent to post-war Europe by the international relief and development organization, CARE.

Shipping humanitarian relief goods around the globe continues to be the main focus of the company’s activities to this day.

Our other activities today include order assembly, import clearance, consolidations, export license consultancy, and other import and export services. The company operates branch offices in Atlanta and Los Angeles.

In 1878, a German named Wm H. Müller established a trading company in Rotterdam that grew into a major player in the Dutch shipping and transport sector. The company grew and branched out, and in 1947 opened an international freight forwarding subsidiary in New York named the Wm H. Müller Shipping Corporation.

By the latter years of the 20th Century the Rotterdam-based holding company had become a vast conglomerate with holdings in manufacturing, trading companies, mechanical engineering, and various other interests, and in the early 1990’s the Board of Directors took a strategic decision to divest themselves of their shipping and transport companies, which now represented a small percentage of the total holdings.

Over the next few years the Müller transportation companies were spun off, mostly to the local management, and in 1993 the renamed Muller Shipping Corporation became a privately held company.
