What OEC Group does

OEC Group (海碩集團) is a privately held global freight forwarding and logistics company founded approximately 1985 and headquartered in Rosedale, California, with Marc Bibeau serving as President and CEO. The company offers an end-to-end supply chain service portfolio covering ocean freight (FCL and LCL consolidation), air freight, LTL transportation, customs brokerage, warehouse and distribution, cargo insurance, and specialized liquid logistics using its proprietary OEC Shark Tank flexitank technology installed in standard 20-foot containers. OEC Group differentiates through two specialized divisions: OEC Liquid Logistics Solutions (LLS) serving chemical, food-grade, and industrial liquid shippers with regional offices across the Americas, Europe, and Asia, and OEC Technical Services (OTS) providing on-site and virtual cargo damage prevention consulting plus disaster relief potable water kits. The company maintains a physical office network spanning 50+ countries across North America, Central and South America, the Caribbean, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Oceania.

The business operates a sales-led go-to-market model through its global office network, with quote-based pricing on each shipment supplemented by self-serve digital tools including an iOS/Android mobile app for real-time tracking by Bill of Lading, Container, or Purchase Order number, an online customer portal, a chargeable weight calculator, and educational resources (shipping glossary, Incoterms 2020 reference, cargo care guidance). Revenue is generated primarily through transaction fees on freight movements, with professional services revenue from cargo insurance brokerage and technical consulting. Customer segments include importers and exporters, logistics and supply chain professionals, and specialized bulk liquid shippers, with no named anchor accounts disclosed in available materials.

The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding, no public listing, and no disclosed M&A history. OEC Group Canada is identified as a wholly owned subsidiary. No AI/ML capabilities, patents, certifications, regulatory actions, or external board members are disclosed in available materials. The OEC RepairLogic integration with CCC One (expected early 2026) appears in source data as a product launch, though it falls outside the freight forwarding core and warrants verification of attribution.
