How can Maximum Freight Maximize YOUR OPPORTUNITY?

  • “In 2016, India GDP was an estimated $2.3 trillion (current market exchange rates);
  • real GDP was up by an estimated 7.6%;
  • and the population was 1.3 billion.”
  • “U.S. goods imports from India totaled $46.0 billion in 2016,
  • up 2.7% ($1.2 billion) from 2015, and up 110.7% from 2006”
  • “U.S. goods exports to India in 2016 were $21.7 billion,
  • up 1.1% ($237 million) from 2015 and up 124.2% from 2006” -USTR
These trade statistics alone show the immense opportunity for businesses to expand their sales and relationship strategies in the East.  Many companies are aware of this, but when it comes to logistics they have to answer the most basic question: What is the best solution for my organization’s needs to ship overseas?

A Special Connection With India

Co-Founders Maximum Astfalk (Head of International Logistics, Maximum Freight) and Lawrence Ho (Systems and Operations Supervisor, Maximum Freight) began their careers in logistics learning the India trade lane.  They learned imports first specializing in the import of home goods and handicrafts.  Later they developed a lane in metal, plastic, and paper scrap materials exported to major Indian Ports.  Much of their export experience was developed when building this trade lane.  They Eventually migrated to more advanced projects in steel pipe intercontinental moves and projects.

They have faced a wide array of movements between the US and India in nearly all modes of cargo transport. Further to this they still  maintain strong ties to their network in India which assures the best availability to primary logistic service providers, agents, and other import export details.  Today at Maximum Freight, Max and Lawrence continue on the same path of providing great service and experience in India logistics solutions and trade.
