Geo S Bush & Co, Inc

Geo S Bush & Co, Inc Geo. S. Bush & Co., Inc. offers freight forwarding and customs brokerage services to the international trade community. Since 1888 Geo. Bush was not the founder. Mr.

embraced the international trade community as a provider of services catered to importers and exporters. Good fortune certainly played a role in our longevity. Although, one cannot dispute the fact that our commitment to the international community is a larger attribute of our ongoing success. We are one office of less than fifty people. However, we are confident when competing with the largest se

rvice providers in the industry. Embracing automation, a quality global network and a company absolutely dedicated to investing in our people define our success. It is engrained within our culture that we possess the knowledge and resources to provide our clientele with exceptional service. Looking to the future we see changes in our business model. Such change is a sign of the times as changes in the regulatory environment are swift, automation moving at light-speed and competitive forces catapulting us to be better. Our business model remains static in our dedication to our clients and the fact that we will remain a “small” privately held company. One in which our next 120 years is contingent upon exceeding the expectations of our clients. We are proud to tout over one-hundred and twenty years in business. Yet humble in knowing we are here today because of the vision and values of our predecessors. We were issued the thirty-eighth customs brokers license in The United States. To this day our companies CHB License Number is 038 and one of the first issued to a company west of the Mississippi. Despite the company’s name, Geo. Ben Lippincott founded the company in 1888 here in Portland, OR. In addition to Mr. Lippincott and Mr. Bush the company was fortunate enough to have a pioneering woman at the helm for nearly four decades. Ms. Mary Muir is reported to have been the first licensed customs broker in the world! A glimpse into her personality may be attained through reading the following article published in the February 1924 edition of Sunset Magazine.
