A legacy that began in 1917, when India stood at the crossroads of global change. What started in Bombay (now Mumbai) as an extension of a family-run textile enterprise soon became Chinubhai Kalidass & Bros (CKB), one of India’s early names in Customs Brokerage and freight forwarding. Over time, CKB evolved beyond documentation and port coordination, taking on the complexities of cargo movement and laying the foundation of an international logistics company aligned with the growing demands of global trade.
Founded by the Sheth brothers during the uncertainty of World War I and colonial rule, CKB was built on resilience and foresight. In 1999, its presence expanded to the United States, strengthening its ability to serve key global trade corridors and reinforcing its position among trusted supply chain management companies. This legacy continues to shape Ark Axis today, guiding its approach to global logistics, compliance, and long-term partnerships.
To enable seamless global trade through disciplined execution, deep domain expertise, and an unwavering commitment to reliability. As a trusted logistics solutions company, we exist to simplify complexity for our clients by moving cargo with precision, operating with integrity, and delivering solutions that respect time, cost, and compliance across borders.
