Expeditors International of Washington, Inc.
A global logistics company that moves freight without owning any planes, ships, or trucks — it buys cargo space from carriers and clears goods through customs. Founded in 1979 in Seattle, the business grew from a vision sketched on a napkin in a Hong Kong bar in 1981 by founders Peter Rose and James Wang. Today it coordinates airfreight, ocean freight, warehousing, and ground transportation for businesses across dozens of countries.
