What Marex Services does

Marex Services Group, LLC is a privately held, asset-light freight management and logistics provider founded in 2011 and headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with a European operations office in Zutphen, The Netherlands. The company operates through five specialized business units — Equipment, Finished Goods, Modular, Bulk Material, and Multimodal — delivering logistics solutions across industrial, energy, humanitarian, defense, construction, and government verticals from origin to final destination. Its core offerings span on-demand equipment hauling, oversized/overweight project freight, modular transportation for contractors and government agencies, tech-enabled bulk material movement, and end-to-end multimodal logistics combining over-the-road, ocean, and air transport (including drayage, transloading, permitting, and escort coordination).

The technology backbone is a proprietary Transportation Management System (TMS) with integrated AI/ML-driven freight rate generation, carrier vetting and onboarding software, the Marex Control Tower for dispatch and documentation, a web and mobile application with location- and status-based RFQ capabilities, and a customer-facing tenant dashboard providing real-time ETAs and shipment visibility. The platform is integrated with Turvo TMS. Marex is licensed by the U.S. Federal Maritime Commission (FMC No. 027532NF) as an Ocean Transportation Intermediary, operating as an ocean freight forwarder and NVOCC with coverage across hundreds of trade lanes and thousands of port pairs globally, and holds a U.S. Department of Homeland Security SAFETY Act designation alongside memberships in TIA, FIATA, NCBFAA, and ISOA.

Marex makes money primarily on a transaction-fee, quote-based model — RFQs receive confirmation within 5 minutes, quotes within 30 minutes, and driver-on-site within 120 minutes — with pay-as-you-go billing across most service lines and multi-year contracts on modular engagements. Go-to-market is a hybrid of B2B enterprise field sales (direct offices in NA and EU) and a self-service digital channel via the mobile app for mid-market shippers and carriers.
