About HWC |
HistoryIn 2008, Hartsfield Warehouse celebrates its 27th year in business. Dedicated to providing quality and reliable service to our customers, our business is committed to being a powerful partner to all we serve. From our humble beginnings as a single courier to our vision today of being an integrated provider of distribution, warehousing, import, export and trucking services, please see how our business has progressed below. 1981 - Hartsfield is started by Mike Owens as a courier company with a single vehicle. We transport documents from the Customs Brokers to the airlines, Customs, banks and the steamship lines. 1984 - Atlanta Customs opens the first "Model Inland Port" and Hartsfield is selected to run the inspection dock. This is the precursor to the first CES station. 1986 - We open our first warehouse which is 5,000 square feet and start the first CFS and Bonded Warehouse in Atlanta. 1989 - We move to a new 25,000 square foot warehouse because of the growth in our CFS business.

This accommodates our growing CFS and export business. 1993 - We are awarded the first and only CES contract in the Port of Atlanta.
