Grupo BRAX
The Grupo Brax story starts back in 1968, when Mexico’s Ministry of the Treasury and Public Credit granted Customs-Broker license #416 to Mariano Gamboa Martínez at Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. Forty years later, the agency partners with multiple customs authorities and is licensed to operate at numerous maritime ports as well as ports-of-entry along Mexico’s northern border.
Grupo Brax was created in 2012 to unite various transport businesses supporting specialized fleets as well as customs-related logistics via licensed brokerages in numerous ports-of-entry in the United States and the north of Mexico, maritime ports on the Gulf of Mexico and Mexico’s Pacific, and at Mexico City’s international airport.
2016 saw Grupo Brax create Morillo-Shk Fine Arts Logistics, a Mexican company with headquarters in the nation’s capital, that offers comprehensive logistics solutions to museums, art galleries, collectors and auction houses. Thanks to its wide-ranging yet specialized infrastructure, Morillo is now a recognized expert in high-quality service, expediting protocols and optimizing costs.
Morillo allows Grupo Brax to expand its portfolio of services as it provides comprehensive solutions and complete satisfaction to a long roster of high-profile clients.
