IFS has been established in 1999, as a forwarding company, and solely owned by Mr Georges Saroukhan and Mr Tony Mansour.
Accordingly we have established our world wide network through out our faithful foreign partners allowing us to grow in an arrow way.
With the care and services that IFShave provided to the market clients, we have made ourselves the loyal example to all local competitors who always keep an open eye on us.
Since then most of the reliable well known carriers esteem our presence in both markets Lebanon and Syria, by offering us their most competitive rates based on our volume market, by respecting our commitments towards them..
In 2003 we have enlarged our business to the vessel’s Chartering, as we have had an oil project in Iraq in Bigi city, thus we had created an operational department for this project Iraqi business.
During 2005 we were selected as an exclusive forwarding and clearing agent for the international organization of UNICEF and UNIFIL.
In 2007 we have established IFS Syria, which is managed by Mr Samir El Chami a very well known professional person.
IFS SyriaSyria office controls all kind of shipping of the local Syria market and all transit shipments to Iraq and Jordan.

Shipping now a days is not a headache, it became a simple operation when you are well informed at any time, and specially when your shipments are handled by professional companies.
Unlike other traditional forwarders, we have had a clear policy about protecting our clients and defending them against the carriers.
Thus, our client is always right, absorbing his problems even in some cases could cost us losses but this professional behavior keeps his fidelity to us.
In 2009 ,we have bought our own offices for 600 sqm placed in the main highway road of Beirut/Downtown city .This would place us among the biggest top 5 local forwarders.
Honesty towards our worldwide partners, has kept a friendly and intimated relationship and gave us the credibility needed to keep our net work growing for 10 years.
Also expanding through own offices in the middle east is still a major plan, Same as we have established our own office in Syria, we shall be establishing own offices in the surrounding countries under IFS name. Hence we can be serving the highest consuming area market in the middle east.
