About Metropolitan Logistics

At Metropolitan Logistics, we are more than just a transportation company — we are the logistics partner that businesses trust when precision, accountability, and performance matter most. With over a decade of hands-on industry experience and a foundation built on operational excellence, we specialize in commercial freight, international moving, container drayage, warehousing, export crating, and complex logistics solutions across North America and beyond.

 

Our roots trace back to the founding of Metropolitan Movers, one of Canada’s most established and recognized relocation brands. While Metropolitan Logistics now operates independently, we remain proudly connected to the same founding ownership and core management team. What began as a single moving company has since evolved into the Metropolitan Group — a growing family of companies serving both residential and commercial clients across Canada and internationally.

 

Today, Metropolitan Logistics operates with full autonomy, concentrating on B2B logistics, international freight, and complex commercial projects, while Metropolitan Movers continues to serve local residential moving needs under its own leadership. Both divisions uphold the same trusted service and shared values our clients have relied on since day one.

Our Story: From Moving to Global Logistics

The Beginning of Metropolitan Movers

Metropolitan Movers was founded in Toronto by Benny and Roman with a clear mission: to deliver high-quality household and office moving services. Thanks to a strong commitment to customer satisfaction, the company quickly became a trusted name in the Canadian moving industry.
