Allied International - Featured Client (11/18/05)

Federal Companies, founded in Peoria, Illinois in 1913, steadily built its reputation by providing the highest quality service available in the moving and storage business. As Federal grew, they identified other related transportation needs for a high quality service provider in the marketplace. To service those needs, Federal diversified into a number of businesses primarily centered on the transportation of household goods, high-value equipment/displays and logistics services. All of these wholly owned subsidiaries focus on providing a more complete line of services to their customers while maintaining the strategy that Federal was built upon—to be the high quality service provider in the industry.

The Federal Companies are an agent for Allied International, which handles more than 40,000 shipments annually, coordinating ground, air, and ocean transportation services for household goods and general commodities destined to and/or originating from all points on the globe.
