Your Trusted Partner for Custom Crating & Global Freight Solutions
MISC was founded in 1989 to address specialized crating and shipping needs for residential and corporate clients. Our history traces back to the early 1980s when our founder worked with DB Schenker, gaining expertise in customs bonded freight operations. We established our own company to expand these services, introducing export crating, hazmat packaging, and compliance with international standards like IPPC protocols. In 2006, new ownership continued our commitment to personalized oversight and quality craftsmanship.Our team has handled diverse projects including shipping radio-astronomy equipment to Chile, movie sets to Prague, and historic artifacts globally. We maintain certifications for military specification packaging and hazardous materials handling while offering tailored solutions for items ranging from industrial equipment to delicate antiques. Our 35-year legacy reflects dedication to secure, reliable shipping solutions for every client, regardless of project scale.
