Historically, Strand Freight Systems began its way in Brooklyn, New York, in 1981 with the mission of meeting the demand for a better alternative to the international moving services than were, at that time, available in the market.

Strand's Old Location in
the Brooklyn Navy Yard

After a short set-up phase, Strand established its hub within the Brooklyn Navy Yard industrial complex. Operating in the 1980s from a secure and central location such as the Brooklyn Navy Yard allowed us to focus on providing a top quality service for our clientele.

From the get go, Strand's ownership believed in tight quality control as its main ingredient to assure better service to Strand's customers. Three decades later, we continue to believe in the same guiding principle. This is why a Strand's Director does the initial home survey, and is the one who monitors the customer's handling until delivery.

It is not a secret that since its inception, Strand's management maintained a warm spot for new Olim. During the last three decades Strand's managers provided counsel to many new Olim in the form of private and group meetings, some coordinated by Tehilla and/or Nefesh B'Nefesh. Understanding the hardship involved with Aliya, we designed our service to suit the needs of new Olim. Among them, we conduct once a year, around Passover time, an open house event to demonstrate to prospective Olim all the logistics involved with their anticipated move. Concerned with the need to provide prompt and reliable destination services in Israel, we established our own hub in Israel 15 years ago.

After three decades of operation from Brooklyn, Strand took a major step to better its services for our clientele. Late in 2010, Strand relocated its hub to Hillside, New Jersey. The new hub is in close proximity to the port. It is large, modern and better equipped to respond to the logistical needs of such an operation. Although we maintain some limited capacity in Brooklyn, from our hub in NJ we are better equipped to help you than before.
