Magellan Logistics has become known as the industry’s specialist for the SME import/export sector, a reputation based on the practical application of years of knowledge and experience.

Named in honour of the first man to find a way to circumnavigate the globe between 1519-21, Ferdinand Magellan was the embodiment of courage, passion and tenacity.

We think these are vital qualities for a company committed to bringing unprecedented standards of service to our industry.

Magellan Logistics began in the mid 90s when David Thatcher saw a gap in the small to medium business market. He noticed forwarders and logistics providers were competing furiously for the big company accounts with little care and attention given to customers who were either entering the import/export space, or who simply had less freight to ship.

Rapidly establishing a reputation as a trouble-shooter, David soon became the solution expert for the particularly tricky freight issues facing many small to medium importers and exporters. David introduced pro-active customer service activity well before it was considered by most of his competitors. Setting up accountable internal structures even in the early stages, David built his foundation by employing people with a natural customer-focus.

Several years on, Magellan Logistics has become known as the industry’s specialist for the SME import/export sector, a reputation based on the practical application of years of knowledge and experience, from dealing with challenging shipments to trouble-shooting the everyday issues small to medium companies face with their freight.

We recently implemented a world class tracking system to help us further increase our customer’s competitive advantage.

Magellan now is offering MagTrack, an automated web-based system for ensuring seamless real time communication between all parties involved in the freight forwarding process: customer, agent and forwarder.
