The Shipping CLUB

About Us

What is “The Shipping CLUB”?

The Shipping Club is a fully independent logistics network established by a team of skilled former freight forwarders, all with years of industry experience and a commitment to excellence.

In our active and dynamic group, forward-thinking partners have decided to team up with us, breaking away from regular partnerships. We’ve avoided overcrowding by carefully selecting members with expert knowledge of their local markets and a proven track record. Our ultimate goal is to bring together, elevate, and enrich the businesses of our members.

In our fast-paced global market successful collaboration is paramount, and our association serves as a prime example.

In addition, we provide a safe and stable environment for them to grow their business without any concerns regarding external influences.

About our founder

Jose M. Lopez started his career in the forwarding industry in 1996, at the age of 24, by joining the multinational Rohlig & Co in Spain.

From 2003 to 2009 he worked for 2 different multinationals, DB Schenker and Gefco, assuming different positions of responsibility within them.

In 2009 he joined Horizon International Cargo, an independent British multinational, where he took over the position of Overseas and Network Manager, helping to expand the company’s international relationships for 14 years.

In 2022, after the acquisition of Horizon International Cargo by a Danish multinational group, he joined CGate LogisticsGroup, a German company with own offices in Europe, to help them develop and increase their overseas relationships.

At the end of 2023, he decided to apply his knowledge and experience to create The Shipping Club, a network for freight forwarders and continue helping them to develop and improve their international relationships.
