TESTIMONIALS
Over 4 decades of transportation services to thousands of customers, covering a multitude of industries
MTA has a very professional team, well-structured and personalized customer service. Operations people are not hiding behind voice mail, they still pick up the phone. We have a strong relationship for over 30 years now, I can say that I know this company my entire life :). Always good to have a partner who has the same mindset. Thank you and looking forward to the next 30 years!
Good support and much appreciate co-ordination among all the staff of MTA. Happy working together. Hoping to work more in future.
MTA is one of the most reliable partners I have ever worked with. Most employees work there forever and offer great experience and knowledge about the US freight market. MTA is friendly, competent, competitive, reliable and respondent. They must do something right.
Over the many years of working together, Midwest Transatlantic Lines have proven to be a reliable, loyal partner aligning in our customer-focused approach. We look forward to many more years of delivering clients supply chains together and thank MTA lines for their support and commitment throughout.
We have been working with MTA Lines for 23 years. They are one of our best Partners world-wide. They always prove to be efficient, competent and able to handle any special projects.
Midwest Transatlantic Lines has been our partner since year 2000. I wish I could show all more about trust as well as support from MTA, they do service like we have own offices there. Handling shipments with good care is only part of the job they do, efficiency is the bonus coming along with competitive cost.
We love to work with MTA Lines. Our relationship goes back 10 years and I must say that in 40 years of business they are among the best and most honest agents I have worked with. A wonderful team of great professionals. We have developed trade lines and services. The fun is ongoing and MTA lines together with INTERUNION will strive towards continuous success.
We have been working with MTA for over five years now. They have proven and continue to be an excellent & trusted partner to Xpand. The team are always approachable, friendly with a very positive attitude.
My first-hand choice for U.S. exports, you guys saved me more than once 
GOOD EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH MTA TEAMS.
We have been working with the team at MTA lines (Midwest Transatlantic) for over 20 years and have developed a very strong working relationship. During that time, we have been privileged to work with such a dynamic and exceptional group of people. It is a key element of our global business that we have reliable and effective overseas agents and in MTA we are fortunate to have such a strong U.S. presence. Their high-level knowledge of the industry (particularly the South and Asia Pacific region), advisory and customer service and support is second to none. Nothing is ever a problem, and they are always looking at the most efficient and cost-effective solution for any supply chain requirement. They are always contactable and proactive to ensure that shipper and consignee expectations are not only met but exceeded. We look forward to strengthening our already close relationship with MTA lines for the mutual benefit of our two companies.
Since the beginning when we started working together It has been always done in a total confidence with sincerity and honesty. Indeed, it’s just simply easy to work with MTA despite the shipping issues that we can daily experience in our jobs. This confidence has always been maintained by MTA persons. Actually, the MTA “Human touch” is so unique and so huge that we never want to give up. Frankly speaking, it seems to us that we are belonging to the same family, so we always want to succeed.
I have been working with MTA for many years now. They are so professional in everything they do, from finance to operational and sales.
I enjoy working with MTA as they are a very good company,professional and make handling of all shipments very easy. I can frankly say that they put all the work in and truly care about our customers and theirs.
+ 35 years of excellent cooperation and partnership for our mutual clients, thank you MTA.
