Horizon Auto Shipping coordinates international vehicle shipments between the United States and destinations around the world.
What started as a family-run business has grown into an international shipping company handling exports, imports, customs brokerage, and overseas transport across established global routes.
A lot has changed over the years, but the overall approach hasn't: communicate clearly, proactively handle problems as they arise, and help customers move through the process with less stress and fewer surprises.
Our Story
Horizon began in 2002, initially operating out of the family home before expanding into dedicated office and warehouse spaces as the company grew.
From the beginning, the business was built around relationships, communication, and figuring out how to move shipments that weren't always straightforward.
That same approach continues to shape how Horizon operates today.
Horizon has always been a true family business, spanning three generations.
Over time, Horizon expanded beyond exports into imports and customs brokerage — a major milestone for the company. In 2013, Horizon secured its corporate customs broker license, allowing the team to further support customers moving vehicles into the United States.
As the company grew, additional milestones followed — such as the opening of Horizon's Houston warehouse in 2018 and expansion into shipping routes beyond Europe, including Australia, South and Central America, and the Middle East.
Today, Horizon continues to coordinate international vehicle shipments across established global routes while expanding the kinds of vehicles and cargo it can support.

Our Mission
Our Vision
To expand our global reach in vehicle and equipment transport — moving everything from cars to aircraft and heavy machinery — while building a company where customers feel confident and employees feel supported.
Our Values
No matter the hiccups, delays, customs complications, or last-minute surprises — we problem-solve until your shipment moves.
Built on decades of industry experience, global agent relationships, and repeat/referral business.
From compliance with Partner Government Agencies to navigating the changing terrain of tariffs and federal import requirements, we know the regulations behind vehicle transport. With an in-house licensed customs broker and deep industry experience, we guide customers through the process with confidence.
We keep you informed at every step. No guessing. No radio silence.
Customer Service
International shipping involves moving parts, changing regulations, documentation requirements, and timing that customers may not encounter often.
That's why Horizon approaches customer service as a problem-solving operation — not just a transaction.
Our team focuses heavily on communication and simplifying the process. That includes managing timelines, preparing for potential delays, and navigating documentation and shipping requirements for our customers.
That approach has helped Horizon build long-term relationships with customers who continue to return and refer friends, family members, collectors, and business partners over time.
As we often say internally:
Horizon makes it happen.
