About

Metro International Trade Services LLC provides comprehensive warehousing solutions, focusing on logistics and inventory management to facilitate efficient cargo distribution. Metro International Trade Services LLC specializes in logistics and warehousing solutions. The company is headquartered in Romulus, US, and has engaged in three deals to date, with the most recent deal occurring on December 22, 2014, when Reuben Brothers acquired Metro from Goldman Sachs for an undisclosed amount. The company was founded with a vision to streamline inventory management and logistics processes.


Metro International Trade Services LLC offers a range of tailored services, including customs clearance, Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) management, and secure storage for various cargo types such as metals, textiles, electronics, and heavy machinery. Their core product offerings ensure precise stock reporting and provide seamless access to transportation modes including water, truck, and rail. The company serves a diverse client base across North America, while also expanding its reach into European and Asian markets. Metro International generates revenue through service fees associated with warehousing and logistics management.


The company engages in B2B transactions with manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers, providing customized inventory and distribution solutions. Revenue is derived from various services, including inventory management, customs brokerage, and freight consolidation, with pricing based on service scale and complexity. Looking ahead, Metro International intends to enhance its service offerings with the development of new logistics solutions, specifically targeting the expanding needs of its clients. The company aims to broaden its market presence, with plans to penetrate additional European and Asian markets by the end of 2025.


The acquisition by Reuben Brothers in December 2014 will support these initiatives, allowing for strategic investments in technology and infrastructure to boost operational efficiency.
