THE INITIAL YEARS…

Chinubhai Kalidass & Bros commenced operations in the year 1917 with a sole service offering of Customs Broking. The brothers were clear in their vision - they would offer their services to exporters and importers in a very professional and prompt manner and also at a very competitive cost.

THE YEARS GOING FORWARD…

The Sheth Brothers continued to focus on expanding the business offering. Post-independence with international markets growing at a brisk pace, CKB focused on exports from India in a big way. By closely studying market conditions and customer needs CKB could customize solutions to respond to these needs.

Soon offices were established across India in rapid succession. An ICD and warehouses were also set up at strategic locations. New business divisions were created. Trucks, Trailers and other essential equipment were brought.

At that time as was the tradition, CKB was a closely held family business and this business continued to be passed on to successive generations. Each generation left its stamp on the business and its activities in their own unique way. And in the process built a solid repertoire of experience, set high standards of customer satisfaction and most importantly created a rich legacy of trust.

THE SURGE AHEAD…

With such an impeccable lineage and strong credentials, today CKB managed by the third generation of the SHETH family, is a professionally managed, global scale, future driven group of companies.
