From a one truck and one van operation to a multinational multimillion-dollar corporation, this is the story of CBX Global.

1982 – The beginning: Caribe Express

In 1982, Caribe Express was founded by an entrepreneur, Mr. Joe Chatt, a former Air Force accountant, who had established himself in Puerto Rico in the late 1960s. After opening a trucking company, Mr. Chatt sought to develop his company and form joint ventures to expand its services and coverage, always with the goal of providing a fast, safe and reliable service like no other.

1987 – Joint forces: Excel Cargo Services

In 1987, Excel Cargo Services, a freight forwarding company was created in Greensboro, North Carolina, under the leadership of John Ford with a group of longtime business friends. A new era of global business began with the partnership of multiple entities opening the door to greater services.

1997 – The Consolidation

Followed by 15 years of entrepreneurship, innovation, and partnership with 16 logistics companies, throughout the Eastern USA, Dominican Republic, USVI and Puerto Rico, a major decision needed to take place: the consolidation of all!

After careful analysis of the markets, an important decision was made to consolidate the companies under one umbrella, creating the holding company called “CaribEx Worldwide“, which is also the trade name used by all the companies. The energy of expansion continued, and more ground was covered by expanding into Central America.

2009 – 1^st step to a new generation

In 2009, we lost our founder, mentor and friend, Mr. Joe Chatt. But the unity of the staff and the partners has kept the company focused: To provide the best possible service to our customers, a family environment among our employees, and continued growth within the company.

Our friend and partner, Mr. John Ford, took over the leadership of the company as Chairman and continued the growth and development, expanding the company’s services and reach with multiple partners around the world.

2017 – New name and new offices

By 2017 we knew we needed to rebrand our company with a name that represent our multinational footprint. CaribEx Worldwide was rebranded to become CBX Global.

During this period, CBX Global expanded our business in Asia, opening multiple offices in China.

2019 – 2^nd step to a new Generation

After many years of hard work and dedication, Mr. Ford decided to retire and pursue new goals. In 2019, the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Joselin Ramos as the new leader, creating a new focus, One Team!

Many changes and new structures came into place creating a stronger company. Sales were sky-high and our goals were being achieved. New times and a diversity of leadership. 

Ending 2021, and aiming to the 40-year celebration, CBX Global holds many memories and future opportunities like no other!

2024 – One Team, No limits!
