Our story

Built by traders.
Run for traders.

In 2018, three ex-shippers and one FMCG buyer got tired of explaining why their cargo was sitting at port for the fourth time that quarter. They built Pacexports to do something the industry hadn't: own every link of the export chain under one accountable team.

The problem we set out to fix

Export shouldn't take seven phone calls.

Until 2018, a single container moving from an Indonesian factory to a Dubai warehouse touched at least seven parties: sourcing agent, factory, fumigation contractor, freight forwarder, customs broker, destination forwarder, and consignee — each with their own paperwork, billing, and excuses when something went wrong.

Our founders had spent a decade watching honest buyers get burned by this fragmentation. The fix wasn't a new app or marketplace. It was simpler: own all seven roles, end the finger-pointing, send one invoice.

Eight years later, we're still operating on that principle. When something goes wrong with your shipment, you have one phone number to call, and the person picking up has authority to fix it.
