WTC Team

WTC Group has a rich history spanning over two decades, firmly establishing our experienced company as a leader in the logistics industry. 

Founded in 2002 in British Columbia by agribusiness expert Brian Atkins, the company was initially named the Western Transloading Corporation. We began with a mission to simplify the complex nature of shipping and logistics. In 2019, the company rebranded to become what the industry now knows as a premier logistics provider: WTC Group.


Over the years, WTC Group has expanded its reach and refined its services, consistently adapting to the evolving needs of the global market. As pioneers in transloading, WTC has continually invested in cutting-edge technology and infrastructure, significantly enhancing its operational efficiency and customer service capabilities. These strategic decisions have allowed WTC to handle everything from small local deliveries to large international shipments with ease and precision.


Today, WTC Group operates across Canada, providing seamless, integrated logistics solutions that help businesses reach their full potential. The company's continuing commitment to innovation and excellence in logistics has propelled us to the forefront of the industry and solidified our reputation as a trusted partner in facilitating global trade.
