About us
Gross-Fuchs was established in 2005. Its founders themselves came from the freight forwarding business and were confronted with the problem of finding international partners. This is how they came up with the idea of founding a network. They established AOP Air and Ocean partners, which grew ever since and still exists today. Over the years, several networks were added. One thing that stayed the same was the founders' conviction that international collaboration does not have to be impersonal. They still thrive to enable members to come together and grow a fruitful business relationship based on trust. This approach has not only led to thousands of mutually profitable cooperations but has even sparked real international friendships between some of the members.
