JTC is a privately owned international freight forwarder and logistics service provider. During its thirty-plus year history, JTC has experienced exponential growth based on the vision and energy of its founder Mr. Micky Daiz, who today remains Chairman. JTC has built a global network of quality agents offices that deliver a consistent level of high service and performance to its customers. The company was founded in 1978 in Dhaka, Bangladesh. From modest beginnings by the late 1980‟s JTC had expanded its network through agents offices in Europe and the Far East to include Milan, Rome, Florence and Tokyo to meet the demands of its growing customer base. By 1988 JTC became the #1 ranked IATA Freight Forwarder in Bangladesh. In the 1990‟s JTC was expanding into the Americas through agents network of offices both in North and South America. At the 25 year anniversary meeting held in 2003, the agent office network had grown to representation in over 62 countries. JTC has utilized its strength in the Bangladesh market to fuel its growth in other areas of the world as well. JTC is a traditional freight forwarder in the sense that forwarding services are the foundation of the group and the reason behind its explosive growth. JTC‟ solid freight forwarding background has fostered expansion into areas outside of its traditional offerings, secure in the knowledge that there is a firm foundation for all such Value Added Services. While agents in Europe and the USA can be expected to play a huge role in our organization, significant importance has been set lately on expanding our coverage within the Asia Pacific Region. JTC has also made significantly increase their business through agents in the Latin America markets. Firm in the belief that agencies, while beneficial in many aspects, do not always give the level of control required, JTC is doing business through agents offices under its own banner in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela, and Panama. This allows us to guarantee a level of service to these countries, which JTC considers to be of primary importance, especially in a market as variable and specialized as Latin America. Today JTC representation covers 80+ countries, +240 agents offices & agents worldwide.
