Navegante acquires North Star World Trade Services and T Brothers Trucking

On behalf of NAVEGATE LOGISTICS (Chicago, Los Angeles and Minneapolis) we would like to inform members that NAVEGATE has acquired NORTH STAR WORLD TRADE SERVICES and T BROTHERS TRUCKING.

Following eight successful years in strategic partnership, Navegate Inc. has acquired North Star World Trade Services and T Brothers Trucking. Navegate, a technology-focused transportation and logistics company, now combines forces with the 47-yearold international freight forwarder, North Star, and 20-year-old domestic trucking and transportation company, T Brothers, to form a third party logistics (3PL) company with expansive expertise.

Joe Pelletier, president of Navegate had this to say, “We have built a company that is substantial and gaining momentum. We have world class technology, carrier capacity, and the right people, enabling us to manage customers’ domestic and international supply chains, faster and smarter than ever.”

In addition, new branding has been unveiled beginning with a new website (www.navegate.com) featuring an expanded portfolio of global transportation and logistics services. “Our new website is key in our transformation, as it cohesively brings together all the aspects of the three companies,” said Pelletier, “and helps us showcase how Navegate is here to make the complex simple for our customers.”

The remaining 8 buggies were shipped by sea. “We stuffed the buggies into two 40ft containers, then two of the cars were lifted at the front so all 4 cars could fit,” said Kleber Fontes, Managing Director. They were shipped by MSC through Navegantes port to St Kitts and Nevis port.

We invite members with shipments in Curitiba to get in touch with the team.
