About Us

Thomason Group was established in 1986 in Taichung city of Taiwan –Republic of China. In the beginning, our main business was concentrated on offering international cargo transportation to local Taiwan manufacturers. Due to the market demand- most factories in Taiwan moved to Southern China, and we set up the Hong Kong office in 1996. In 1997 we also set up an office in Shenzhen city/Mainland China. The purpose of establishing this office is to control shipments in and out the Southern China area.

Due to the tendency for getting big accounts' supports, from the year of 2000, a huge of manufacturers moved from Southern China to Northern China, especially in Shanghai area. We then set up our Shanghai office and Ningbo office in 2002. Until now, there are a total 150 staffs in our six offices. Each staff is well trained and makes every effort towards customer satisfaction.

Thomason Group is an independent neutral container carrier offering you the best deals rate and service wisely for your container cargo in well-selected deep-sea trade-lanes.

Thomason Group offers you reasonable freight savings! Because of the large volumes we ship and negotiate, we can offer rates below market level in most instances. We also save your time and frustration by eliminating many phone calls to other lines for getting the best deal.

Thomason Group strives to offer you faster quotes! For overseas agent, we also offer “one window” service. That means when you give inquiry by email for exporting goods from China to any world destination, just send it to james@thomason.com.tw , the competitive quote will be sent to you within 12 hours.

Philosophy

Changing makes Difference. We are upgrading ourselves to serve our clients better. Our clients (agents) are most important for us － they direct our jobs and the further development of our company.

Thoughtful customer service is the core of our activities. It is our aim not only to satisfy our client's expectations, but to surpass them.

Besides business activities, our staffs were expected to establish nice friendship with our clients. Profit is not the only thing we pursuit. Only friendship makes our business alive.

We have established our standard operation process for the nominated shipments from overseas agents. All orders must be handled under this process.

Our qualified staff conveys high trust to our client and partners all over the world, through excellent service. We want to be a reliable partner in all sectors and on all levels.

Our staff is the most important assets of our company. － we want them to be able to look at Thomason with pride and satisfaction, because only through their commitment and the appropriate bond to the company, can economical success be ensured in the long term.
