Our History

First Meeting

Sugar Export

The Company initially concentrated on booking sugar export cargoes for its principal’s vessels and thus the famous and well known cable address “SUGARCRAFT” was registered.

Continuous Growth

With the continued growth of the company, it opened an office in San Francisco, USA followed shortly by the opening of additional branch offices in Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong.

Today
