Delmar International

What Delmar International does

Delmar International Inc. is a privately held Canadian logistics company founded in 1965 and headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, providing customs brokerage, international freight forwarding, and integrated supply chain services. The company operates an asset-light model across 55+ offices in 17+ countries with approximately 1,500 employees, delivering end-to-end solutions spanning air, ocean, and ground freight, customs clearance and advisory, warehousing and distribution, and specialized project cargo. Its service portfolio includes dedicated domestic expedited delivery in Canada (Delmar Express, 24-48 hour SLA), a B2C eCommerce logistics line into North America, and a Visual and Store Development offering for retail activations. Delmar serves enterprise clients across pharmaceutical, aerospace, mining, luxury fashion, and construction verticals, with documented long-tenure relationships such as a client since 2005 and multi-year project work in Italian glass façades and high-end fashion logistics.

The company's technology layer consists of the myDelmar™ customer portal and mobile app (iOS and Android), DelTrac and PARS/PAPS electronic shipment tracking, and a broader "Global Technology Platform" that integrates with client shipment management. Revenue is generated primarily on a quote-based, pay-as-you-go model across nine identified streams — customs brokerage, air/ocean/ground freight, warehousing, supply chain consulting (TradeAid), Delmar Express, B2C eCommerce, and visual merchandising — with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers and standard late-payment terms at Bank of Canada prime + 5%. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with dedicated account management through the global office network, supplemented by content marketing (webinars on US tariffs, IEEPA refunds, CUSMA/USMCA renewals) and high-visibility sports sponsorships (Montreal Canadiens, New York Islanders, F1, Olympics, SailGP, LPGA). Delmar is family-controlled by the Cutler family (Robert Cutler as CEO of Delmar Group, Daniel Cutler as CEO of Delmar USA, Oliver Cutler as CMO), with no disclosed external institutional ownership, no funding rounds on record, and most recent inorganic action being the 2023 acquisition of Italian freight forwarder Alisped.
