Morrison Expressrporation

What Morrison Expressrporation does

Morrison Express Corporation is a global freight forwarding and logistics services provider founded in 1972 in Taiwan, now operating 90+ offices across 100+ countries and serving clients in 250+ cities with a workforce of 2,000+ employees. The company delivers multimodal transportation services — air, ocean (as both licensed forwarder and NVOCC), rail, and road freight — alongside contract logistics (warehousing, order fulfillment, VMI, reverse logistics), licensed customs brokerage, and technology solutions anchored by its proprietary Morrison One shipment management platform with EDI integration, TMS, WMS, and real-time tracking for sensitive commodities.

The business is organized around seven vertical specializations: Hi-Tech (semiconductor capital equipment, wafers, EMS distribution), Automotive (finished vehicles, EV batteries, JIT), Consumer & Retail (apparel, e-commerce, GOH), Healthcare & Life Sciences (cold-chain pharma and biologics), Chemical (dangerous goods Classes 1-9), Industrial (oversized equipment and capital projects), and Energy (oil & gas plus renewables). Revenue is generated through transaction fees on freight shipments, managed-services fees for warehousing and contract logistics, professional-services fees for customs brokerage, and platform/EDI subscription revenue, with all pricing structured as custom enterprise quotes under multi-year contracts sold via direct field sales through the global office network.

In 2025 Morrison Express became a wholly owned subsidiary of SG Holdings Group, a Japan-headquartered integrated logistics conglomerate, integrating its international freight forwarding capabilities with the parent's broader network and resources. The company holds AEO, C-TPAT, STP, TAPA, and ISO/IEC 27001 certifications and maintains strategic capacity alliances with leading global airline and ocean carrier partners, supporting its Global Top 20 air freight forwarder positioning.
