About Phoenix

Phoenix International Freight Services, Inc. is a privately-owned global logistics company with U.S. locations in the greater Chicago and Los Angeles areas. The company focuses on providing quality freight forwarding as well as providing services in international freight, freight procurement, global supply chain planning, customs brokerage, contract logistics and solution design, and cross border eCommerce.

We're privately owned, which means our decisions are driven by what's best for our employees and customers, not quarterly earnings.
