Brandes International - About Us

Brandes International has been operating in Cleveland, Ohio since 1919, exporting industrial products to manufacturers and distributors around the globe.

Throughout our history our specialty has been heavy vehicle components and that is especially true today. We ship parts and equipment to manufacturers in every corner of the world, with our main focus being Latin America.

We offer complete product specification and engineering services to our customers from our own staff to the staffs of our suppliers.

Our products are 100% OEM quality and virtually all are made in the USA and Canada. While some materials are imported by our suppliers, all products we sell are supplied from the USA and Canada and are also used in original equipment in these countries.

We also source out-of-date and obsolete heavy-duty parts for foreign manufacturers, distributors and fleets, and we source tools and equipment for customer factories.

We consolidate FCL and LCL shipments in both the USA (Cleveland, Ohio) and Canada (Toronto, Ontario). We also ship FCL orders directly from supplier factories in the USA and Canada to foreign ports.

We sell on the full range of Incoterms, mostly on CIF basis, and offer complete logistics services, from domestic freight, warehousing and packaging to ocean freight, air freight and cargo insurance.
