Product Details & Size Guide
GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
From its 1972 start as Burlington Northern Airfreight to its 1997 rebranding as BAX Global, the company reflects decades of change in freight transportation. Its history includes air express operations, international growth and integration with Schenker in 2006. This metal business card holder gives that corporate story a practical place in a desk or workday, and makes a thoughtful choice for logistics professionals, business-history collectors and anyone interested in the evolution of global freight.
BAX Global began business on June 15, 1972, in ten U.S. cities as Burlington Northern Airfreight, Inc. (BNAFI), a subsidiary of Burlington Northern Railroad. In 1982, the Pittston Company acquired BNAFI; Pittston later became Brink's. The company adopted the name Burlington Air Express in 1986 and repositioned itself as an overnight air express company. It acquired WTC Air Freight in 1987 and the assets of failed air freight carrier Roadway Global Air from Caliber System in 1995. In 1997, it became BAX Global, a name reflecting expansion across all continents. Headquartered in Irvine, California, it also had major offices in Australia, Singapore, London, the Netherlands and Toledo, Ohio. On January 31, 2006, DB Logistics, Deutsche Bahn's transportation and logistics division, acquired BAX Global from Brink's for $1.1 billion and integrated it with Schenker, its land, sea and air freight branch. Air Transport International, which had operated dedicated aircraft for Burlington Air Express, was sold to Cargo Holdings International when BAX Global was sold; it remained under contract to provide dedicated lift. In July 2011, Schenker Inc. announced it would end domestic airfreight activity in the United States, Canada and Mexico and stop using its remaining 20 aircraft, as cargo was moving by truck.
