A.G.O. Transportation, Inc.
A.G.O. Transportation, Inc. is a Montreal-based freight forwarder with a longstanding history rooted in the evolution of specialized customs services in Canada. The company originated from Action Customs Services Inc., established by Andre Goguen in March 1992 as a focused customs brokerage operation. Responding to client demand for a broader, one-stop logistics solution, AGO Transportation was created in October 1993 to provide integrated transportation services across air, ground, and ocean modes for both domestic and international clients.
A core facet of AGO’s service model is its emphasis on reliability and personalized client support, delivering service excellence that has driven continued growth over the years. The organization emphasizes a commitment to customer service that aligns with the changing dynamics of cross-border trade and logistics in North America.
Technically, AGO Transportation leverages electronic data interchange (EDI) capabilities with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) to facilitate customs release processes in major Canadian cities and border crossings. This capability supports efficient clearance and timely delivery for clients engaged in cross-border shipments.
Strategic alliances have also played a role in AGO’s ability to compete with larger forwarders while maintaining a personalized level of service. Partnerships with carriers such as United Shipping, APLN, and World Net expand the company’s global reach and service capacity, enabling AGO to offer coordinated solutions to international shipments.
In addition to its air and ocean services, AGO maintains an extensive network of Canadian trucking resources, combined with an integrated database of interline partners. This network facilitates expedited ground transportation across North America, helping clients achieve reliable door-to-door service.
The company’s philosophy centers on delivering dependable, above-and-beyond service. This client-focused approach underpins AGO Transportation’s ongoing growth and its ability to adapt to evolving logistics requirements, including customs compliance, rate negotiations, and comprehensive shipment tracking. AGO Transportation positions itself as a capable partner for businesses seeking a holistic logistics solution that harmonizes international freight with domestic distribution needs.
