Our History

Craters & Freighters of SW Florida opened in 1995.  Initially the facility specialized in arts and antiques shipping.  Over the years the business has migrated to industrial crating and exporting internationally.  Our company serves consumers and businesses in all sectors including telecommunications, electronics, medical equipment, aerospace, biotechnology, and heavy machinery. With expertise that delivers, the company dominates the specialty freight industry.

Craters & Freighters of SW Florida is certified in International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15 (ISPM-15) which requires that all solid wood packing material for international shipments be heat-treated and stamped with an official mark.

Craters & Freighters, headquartered in Golden, Colorado, was founded in June 1990 to meet the needs of businesses and consumers for specialty freight handling, including pick-up, crating, shipping, packaging, tracking, insuring, and delivery of shipments that are too heavy, oversized,  valuable, awkward, and time-sensitive for other shipping agencies.

Craters & Freighters is led by president and founder, Diane Gibson, who is responsible for the operations and strategic direction of the company and its franchise locations.
