What Toga Group does

Toga Group is a Dublin-headquartered, privately held freight forwarding and logistics company founded in 1978. It operates through two specialist divisions — Toga Freight Services (road, air, and ocean freight forwarding) and Toga Customs Services (customs clearance) — alongside the 2024-acquired UK subsidiary Irish Sea Logistics Ltd and the 2026-established Toga Freight Services (Asia) LLC in Vietnam. The group runs one of the largest operations on the UK–Ireland trade lane, with up to 20 daily groupage departures, 800+ daily pallet collections, 176 vehicles in operation, and a 160,000 sq ft 'Irish Pallet Hub' in Birmingham opened in November 2024; distribution covers 15 Irish/Northern Irish locations with 400+ daily delivery trucks.

The business generates revenue primarily through transaction fees on freight movements (road, air, ocean) and customs clearance, priced on a quote basis for B2B customers. Its technology stack centers on the Azyra Cloud platform for track-and-trace, container tracking, and customer portal access, with direct integrations to Pallet-Track (90+ UK transport companies) and the Astre Europe network (400+ sites, 46 countries). Toga Customs holds AEO accreditation, manages bonded warehouses in both Great Britain and Ireland, and authorized to clear customs for over 5,000 businesses.

Toga's customer base exceeds 12,000 account customers spanning manufacturing, wholesale, retail, pharmaceutical, construction, and food/beverage industries. Go-to-market combines a dedicated B2B sales team (Sales Manager Ireland, Sales Manager UK, Group Commercial Director), inside-sales quote forms, and shareholder-level partnerships with Pallet-Track, Astre Europe, Freyt World Network, and DX. The company is recognized by Deloitte Ireland as a Best Managed Company for the fifth consecutive year (Gold Standard, 2024) and by Great Place to Work as a Best Workplace for Health & Wellbeing 2026.
