STAMM PHILIPPINES is in the Philippines since 1984, needless to say that we continuously reflect on who we are and where we stand and look into the future with confidence.
Our very broad service menu in international logistics has given us a firm position in the Philippine niche market. Yes it is more fun in the Philippines but we are the people with the name to trust. Each one of our team is committed to this philosophy. A name to trust, of a company where people work on the fundamentals of Christian ethics, values, respect and friendship to create “win-win” fair trade for all parties involved in a transaction.
