Our history

all good stories have a beginning, and our journey started with a group of logistics-enthusiasts in Norway getting together to buy the forwarding company NHG Trans in 2007. NHG Trans was well established being in the market since 1974, and had an annual turnover of NOK 25 millions at the time of the acquisition. Main services were groupage, part loads, special transport and forwarding to and from Europe

in October this year all international forwarding services from Helge R. Olsen are assigned to ColliCare

with the goal of becoming a complete logistics service provider, we saw the need to find good partners for further development. This resulted in a merger of three companies; NHG Trans, StorbyTransport og LogistikkCompagniet, which together could offer international road freight, sea freight, domestic distribution and storage facilities

at the same time the demand for sea freight from Asia increased and we decided to start ColliCare China. With two locations established, Xiamen and Shanghai, and skilled logistics personnel at site, we could support our sea freight services, and fulfill customers demands. Through innovative services such as cross docking we experienced a major growth in business, and we established a good agent network throughout Asia

eCare is born, a web-based tool, giving our customers a complete overview of all freight assignments in the ColliCare system. The system is developed in cooperation with our customers, to ensure a user friendly system and optimal information for them to do their job
