Our Journey: Four Decades Moving Lives Across Borders
Where It All Started (1983)

Universal Cargo opened its doors back in 1983, in a small downtown office in Buenos Aires, helping families and professionals relocate internationally with a truly personal touch.

Right from day one, our ambition was clear: deliver a reliable, secure, and human-centered international moving service for anyone relocating to or from Argentina.

And honestly—nothing has changed on that front.

Growing Beyond Moving Boxes

As global trade expanded and logistics became more complex, our work naturally pushed us beyond the traditional concept of “moving companies”.

We quickly realized people didn’t just need their belongings shipped from A to B—they needed someone to walk them through paperwork, customs regulations, storage options, export procedures, and a long list of things nobody ever tells you about when moving across borders.

Little by little, we started building add-on services, one step at a time.

From Movers to Full-Service Solutions

Over the years, we added services that later became part of our core value:

• Relocation solutions.
• Climate-controlled storage.
• Fine-arts logistics.
• Specialized packing.
• International insurance.

We went from handling international household goods to becoming a one-stop partner able to cover every stage of the relocation journey.

A Natural Expansion into Global Trade

After decades dealing with customs procedures, documentation, port operations, and international regulations, it became clear that our expertise could be put to work in a broader field.

So the jump into global trade wasn’t just a strategic move—it felt like the next natural step.

Today we provide:

• Import & export services.
• Ocean freight (FCL & LCL).
• International airfreight.
• Customs advisory.
• Logistics solutions for families and companies.
