Corrigan Air & Sea Cargo

What Corrigan Air & Sea Cargo does

Corrigan Air & Sea Cargo is a privately held, Romulus, Michigan-based B2B logistics and export packaging company serving manufacturers shipping machinery and equipment internationally, as well as U.S. government and military customers. Founded by Paul Corrigan around 1970 on a code of ethics emphasizing craftsmanship and customer care, the company has operated continuously for over fifty years and is part of the Corrigan Companies network alongside Corrigan Moving Systems, Corrigan Logistics, Corrigan Record Storage, and Signature Relocation.

The company's core capability centers on specialized heavy-lift and export packaging operations delivered from an 80,000+ square foot Romulus facility featuring a state-of-the-art drive-thru crane bay. The crane bay uses two 40-ton hoists synchronized on a double girder bridge, providing combined lift capacity up to 160,000 pounds across a 70-foot hook-to-hook span, with hook-mounted electronic dynamometer scales delivering weight verification accuracy within +/- 0.2 percent at time of lift. These physical assets support four service lines: Export Packaging (project cargo, heavy lift and oversized, custom packaging), International Logistics (ocean and air freight forwarding, shipment tracking, strategic alliances), Warehousing and Distribution (supply chain solutions), and Government Solutions (MIL-STD packaging and preservation under CAGE Code 0MYB1).

Corrigan runs a sales-led, quote-based B2B go-to-market with revenue spanning packaging services, freight forwarding and managed logistics, and government and military contracts. Pricing is quote-driven and not publicly disclosed; customer acquisition runs through a Request a Quote web form supported by phone (1-800-263-7361) and a corporate LinkedIn and Facebook presence. The company holds C-TPAT (Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) certification from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and reaches international markets through a strategic alliances network of partners in major cities worldwide rather than owned foreign operations.
