HISTORY OF SECAM INTERNATIONAL

Secam International was founded by Mr. Robert Champoux on June 12, 1985.

To better serve the client's increased volume of air cargo shipments from the United States, Secam opened its second office located at Dorval International Airport in February of 1986.

Through steady growth and good service, Secam doubled its office space and added more personnel in June of 1990. We now have 14 operations personnel and 2 sales representatives, combined with a fully computerised and automated office to insure all transactions are accurately recorded and shipments meet their on time deliveries schedules.

Because of the transfer of international flights to the Dorval International airport from Mirabel International Airport, Secam was force to close our division in Mirabel. Our present locations are as follows:
