MSC Group

Originating in 1970 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, the MSC Group is privately owned by the Aponte Family. With a rich nautical heritage and deep passion for the sea, the Group’s influence extends across its group of companies and into its transportation solutions spanning road, rail, air, and port terminal infrastructure. Embodying values that place people at the heart of the business, the Group prides itself on cultivating a culture built on family, evolution, passion, care, and equal opportunity.

In 2018, the Aponte family established the MSC Foundation to coordinate the Group’s global conservation and humanitarian efforts, building on longstanding philanthropic partnerships and launching new initiatives worldwide.

The MSC Group works closely with global business partners and customers who share a common goal to make a difference in the world. The Group has grown from a single business to include an extensive portfolio of companies across industries that provide sustainable and innovative solutions.
