Our story
From One Halifax Desk to Every Corner of the Globe
Quillmarsh International began as a small forwarding desk on the Halifax waterfront. We design logistics that adapt fast when things go wrong — weather, customs holds, a missed connection — because in freight, something always does.
We care about three things: the client's satisfaction, freight rates that make sense, and operations that run without drama. That means shorter delivery times, fewer surprises and a partner who helps your business grow across North America and beyond.
Over the years we've added ocean, air and inland freight, customs brokerage, dangerous goods and time-critical logistics. The approach hasn't changed: understand the client's business, build the right plan, and deliver without excuses.
Why Quillmarsh
What Sets Us Apart
English and French, on Every Call
Fully bilingual — essential for Canadian customs, and for partners across Europe and the Americas.
At Home on the Halifax Waterfront
Working knowledge of the Port of Halifax, Canada's deep-water gateway to the Atlantic.
Trade Agreement Know-how
Our customs team works with CUSMA, CETA and CPTPP every week, and helps clients claim the duty savings they're owed.
One Named Contact
One account manager follows your file from origin to delivery. No call centre, no ticket queue.
What we stand for
Our Values
We Keep Our Word
We don't promise what we can't deliver. Every commitment on timing, cost and communication is one we stand behind.
We Know the Detail
Our team works across every mode and keeps up with the rules. When a shipment gets complicated, we've usually seen it before.
No Surprises
No hidden lines on the invoice and no silence when plans change. You hear from us at every step.
Accounts, Not Transactions
We measure success in long partnerships, not one-off shipments. Most of our clients have shipped with us for years.
Rooted in Halifax
A Canadian company serving Canadian business on the world stage, from the city where Canada meets the Atlantic.
Always Improving
Logistics never stands still. We keep investing in our people, our systems and our network so our clients stay ahead.
