    Who We Are

    Great World was founded by John Ting in 1978. His vision was simple: a logistics company that provided true cross-border door to door service. Building on that vision, GWL became one of the first companies in the Bay Area to combine freight forwarding and U.S. Customs clearance. Over 30 years, we have cultivated a strong network of partners throughout the world, from Asia to Latin America to Europe to the United States.

    Our mission is to foster educated importers and exporters so that they can make informed decisions about their transportation needs.

    Our Core Service Values are:
    Communication – Great World places a strong emphasis on ease of communication and transparency. We believe that an educated and informed importer/exporter is the one who will make the best decisions for their company. Our customers are encouraged to consult with us on a regular basis. Our team members are trained to be proactive in watching out for our customer’s needs.
    Efficiency – Great World is always striving to find ways to make the shipping process run faster, smoother and more cost-effective. This includes incorporating the latest technologies, hiring talented professionals, and improving value.
    Integrity – Great World takes pride in our honesty, fairness, and accountability. Doing the right thing is a top priority.
