The Robinsons story began in 1954, when Robinsons was set up primarily as a stevedoring company, for handling import and export of break- bulk cargo.Appointed as licensed stevedore by the Bombay Port Trust (BPT) and the Kandla Port Trust, Robinsons continues to maintain its position as the leader in its field and today services a number of prestigious clients including the Shipping Corporation of India, Ellerman Lines, Norasia Lines, Mediterranean Shipping Company and SINSOV and many others. Robinsons today has all the necessary equipment to handle both breakbulk and containers.

Robinsons Air Services is a dedicated division meant for handling imports and exports both by air and sea, including inter-modal transport. Initially set up in 1972 under the Robinsons umbrella to handle air cargo, the fast growing import-export cargo business and the growing business requirements of a large customer base necessitated the setting up of RAS as a separate entity.

RAS is a full fledged cargo agency, and is today handling a large volume of cargo business, covering a wide range of items both imported into the country and exported abroad. RAS is an approved IATA agent and also holds a valid customs license. It is also a member of World Air Cargo Organisation. (WACO).

To retain existing market share and to grow in such a competitive business environment, the companies will necessarily have to respond to the needs for,

In other words they will have to improve the quality of services in addition to the quality of products and implement Total Quality Management (TQM) philosophy at all levels of their organisations.
