JORI International Ltd. – Who We Are
In 1992, Rick and Josee invested their savings to get JORI started. Their four kids – Neil, Tanya, Alisha, and Sam – grew up talking business around the dinner table. At JORI, we understand how hard it is to run a successful business because we are entrepreneurs ourselves. This is why we believe it is so important for your global logistics and customs brokerage to run easily and seamlessly. JORI is now a second-generation family-owned and operated business. The passion and tenacity Rick and Josee instilled over 30 years ago have built a track record we are proud of. Our client relationships, some of which are as old as we are, have grown to include some of Canada’s foremost importers and exporters.
