Seamlessly Connecting the Midwest to Europe

Our connected international network is built to support customers with consistent, flexible pathways into Europe.
Many of our U.S.-based customers leverage our Chicago-to-Netherlands consolidation service to move their weekly volumes overseas. Freight is collected across the Midwest and funneled through our Chicago gateway, where cargo is built into a direct LCL ocean consolidation to Rotterdam - creating a structured, repeatable solution aligned with production schedules and demand.

For time critical shipments, our Chicago-to-Amsterdam air consolidations provide a seamless alternative, integrated with the same teams, systems, and visibility across our network.

Upon arrival, cargo moves into our Mainfreight warehouse in Born, NL, where inventory can be held and released as needed to serve multiple European markets. Final delivery is managed by us, completing an end to end solution handled entirely within the Mainfreight network.

What makes this work is the connectivity across our business units and regions. Origin coordination, international transport, warehousing, and final distribution are all managed within the Mainfreight network - removing handoffs, improving communication, and creating accountability at every step.

This is just one example of how our international consolidation network connects air, ocean, warehousing, and transport to simplify complex supply chains. To learn more about our additional consolidation lanes and how we can support your business, reach out to your local Mainfreight team.
