Delivering Global Services

Hexagon International Transport Ltd was established in Manchester in 1973.  In 1984 Hexagon International Freight Ltd opened in Leeds, more recently relocating to Normanton.

The Hexagon Group currently has 25 employees servicing multi-national companies as well as privately owned companies. We specialise in European freight, ocean and air services. Many of our customers have worked with us for over 20 years and we have built our relationships based on trust, integrity and quality tailored services.

50 Years of Expertise

Incorporated on 7th August 1973, Hexagon International Transport Limited has been a cornerstone in the transport and logistics industry for half a century. Our journey began during the bustling era of the Manchester Docks at Salford Quays, a time when the docks were still a vital hub of activity.

Long before the advent of the internet and the convenience of sourcing approved suppliers online, business relied heavily on trust and personal connections.

The dedication and hard work of Hexagon's founding directors laid a solid foundation that has enabled our continuous growth and success.

Today, the Hexagon Group is proud to carry on this legacy, building on the values and principles that were established 50 years ago. Our commitment to excellence, integrity, and innovation remains at the core of everything we do, ensuring that Hexagon International Transport Limited continues to lead the way in the transport and logistics industry.
