Associated Global Systems was founded in 1958 as Associated Air Freight and operated primarily as a domestic and international air freight forwarder. AGS found a niche in offering highly personalized and flexible services that were otherwise not available from its competitors. Early on, the Company’s service distinction was bolstered by guaranteeing pickup within 60 minutes, any time of day in the New York area. AGS’ dedication to flexibility, customization to meet customers’ needs and continuance of the highest quality service standards have been a major factor in the Company’s success. Throughout the years, AGS expanded its geographic network and service offering, as highlighted in the below exhibit.
