William L. Rutherford Ltd.

WILLIAM L. RUTHERFORD LIMITED (Mississauga H.O.) is pleased to announce the acquisition and addition of Mississauga based IMEX CUSTOM BROKERS. IMEX, a well respected Customs Broker offering services since 1973, specialized in providing Import/ Export services to the entertainment and concert industries. This is a very welcome addition to the multiple services that WLR can currently offer to the Mississauga Community of Businesses. IMEX, welcome to the WLR family.

We say family, because in addition to investing heavily in new technologies, as our competition has, we have also addressed the human portion of the service equation. We have also invested in our people, which makes us unique in this authors opinion. We also say this because we have countless testimonies from companies like yours, thanking us for our standard of service versus being shuffled from person to person with constant waiting, and no resolution. Our people are our strength. They are the tie that binds. They are what makes us unique and what makes us stand out. We have a history to the Mississauga community that pre-dates its inception, and have been serving the rest of Canada since May of 1927.

Also worthy of note to the Mississauga Community, we service our clients with our own equipment and resources. We own our own warehouses, bonded and not bonded (130,000 sq. ft.). Because of this we can offer freight warehousing and distribution. We own our own Mississauga local delivery fleet. You do not have to deal with third parties, and that holds true for all of our internal IT, Accounting services, and any other necessary service department. We do not farm out any of our necessary services that you need; hence, you the Customer can count on us each and every time.

CARM is a federal CBSA mandatory initiative that will GO LIVE in May 2024. We realize that many of our Mississauga Clients have barely recouped from the impact of the COVID pandemic, and CARM is not necessarily expected or wanted from a resource perspective. We have professionals on hand that can guide you through the onboarding process so your business can continue with as little interruption as possible once CARM becomes a reality. We can even assist you with Bond Security as will be necessary with CARM.

Thank You Mississauga for helping us be all that we can be. You are most appreciated and we look forward to a continuing partnership with our existing Mississauga Clients and if we sound different then your present logistics provider, then give us a call. We would love to listen.
