What shaped us?

António Coelho e Barbosa – Official Forwarding Agent, already has a long history and tradition.

36 years of experience, ethics and professionalism make our journey rewarding and something the company can be proud of.

Based in Matosinhos, Porto, António Coelho e Barbosa is one of the official forwarding agents of reference in the North of Portugal.

1986

The company was created by the current manager / forwarding agent, result of a professional experience since 1970.

1993

With the Treaty of Mastricht of the European Union, the activity of Official Forwarding Agents saw its activity reduced in a catastrophic way.

 

At that time, Portugal’s international trade with third countries was small, accounting for +-25% of total exports. Hence, freight forwarding companies had to restructure.

2007

The company underwent restructuring at the statutory level and the company was reduced to a single partner, the official forwarding agent António Coelho Barbosa.

 

From this restructuring, the company had different management and very specific objectives, which in the near future led to increasing improvements, both in services provided and in its Human Resources. A branch opened in Covilhã to serve customers in this region in a more efficient way, as well as partnerships with Lisbon in order to cover national territory more effectively.

 

At a logistical level, national and international partnerships were created. Certificates were earned as AEO and 9001:2015.
