Kaohsiung - A-Star Logistics Corporation, based in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, originates from Symatrans Express Co., Ltd, which was established in 1998 to provide prompt and reliable worldwide import/export cargo forwarding. In response to growing demand in sea-forwarding activities, the group formed A-Star Logistics Corporation in 2007 to focus on expanding ocean transportation services. Together, Symatrans Express Co., Ltd. and A-STAR Logistics Corporation operate as freight logistics providers offering professional and competitive options across sea and air freight, land transportation, and multimodal solutions.
The group’s service scope includes warehousing and distribution, dangerous goods transportation, and a range of ancillary services such as customs clearance and documentation support. Over the years, the company has emphasized continuous improvement and reliability through collaboration with clients and international partners, aiming to deliver secure, efficient, and cost-effective logistics solutions on a global scale.
The organization has pursued strategic industry affiliations to enhance its global reach. It joined the World Cargo Association (WCA) in 2009, providing access to a network that spans numerous countries and cities, which helps ensure timely and secure delivery of shipments. In 2022, the company expanded its North American capacity by applying for NVOCC status with the FMC, strengthening relationships with major carriers and offering competitive rates, space guarantees, and enhanced market competitiveness.
In 2023, A-Star Logistics Corporation aligned with WTCalliance, a global logistics network headquartered in the United States, as the first Taiwan-based代理 (agent) within this platform. This alliance supports broader service offerings and partnerships in international trade operations. The company also maintains active participation in international trade organizations to reinforce its logistics capabilities and compliance standards.
The combined operations emphasize a balanced portfolio of ocean and air freight solutions, complemented by warehousing, distribution, and specialized services for handling hazardous materials.
