Empowering small and medium-sized global enterprises with certified U.S. warehousing, distribution, and third-party logistics (3PL) solutions since 1995.
Partnership & Expertise
As a designated Joint Overseas Distribution Center by KOTRA (Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency), G&B International, Inc. serves as an official North American logistics operational base. We actively collaborate with international economic development bodies to foster export growth, reduce international supply chain barriers, and streamline market entry for growing enterprises into the United States.
Leveraging over 29 years of freight forwarding, customs brokerage, and fulfillment experience, G&B International provides overseas exporters with immediate access to prime U.S. logistics infrastructure without the capital burden of establishing dedicated regional distribution centers.
Strategic Value
Global logistics demands have evolved rapidly from traditional high-volume periodic bulk shipments to agile, data-driven distribution models. Modern buyers demand flexible inventory management, faster fulfillment cycles, and optimized door-to-door transit times.
Transition from bulky inventory holding to lean Vendor-Managed Inventory. We facilitate Just-In-Time (JIT) local distribution to major U.S. retailers and wholesalers on demand.
By leveraging G&B’s established 3PL distribution networks, exporters eliminate capital investments in local warehouses while capitalizing on volume-negotiated freight rates.
Supported by KOTRA’s global network, participating suppliers gain authoritative endorsement, validated compliance standards, and trusted local U.S. operations.
Comprehensive supply chain integration designed for international manufacturers, exporters, and North American buyers.
