The region’s largest trade event for the project cargo and breakbulk industry

Celebrating 30 years of Breakbulk Americas


2019’s a very special year for Breakbulk Americas. It’s our 30th anniversary and we’re in the mood to celebrate!

From the tiniest of seeds the mightiest of sequoia grows, and it’s the same for Breakbulk. Back when we took our first tentative steps into the wild and exciting world of exhibitions, we only had a handful of attendees. Now, you won’t find an event like Breakbulk Americas anywhere in the region.

Enjoying our growth – sharing new opportunities – Breakbulk Americas

We're celebrating 30 years of shaping the project cargo conversation at Breabulk Americas 2019.

Over 1,500 companies, 450 shippers and 325 exhibitors choose Breakbulk Americas every year. It’s not just companies from North, South and Central America, though. We welcome participants from 69 countries, representing the full range of industry sectors.

Take a walk through the exhibition hall and you’ll find freight forwarders, sea and transport owners, port and terminal operators, equipment suppliers, and many more sector players. You’ll feel like a kid in a project cargo candy store.

We’re talking big names at Breakbulk. Over the years, we’ve welcomed the likes of Bechtel, Halliburton, ExxonMobil, Siemens, Lockheed Martin, NASA, BP and hundreds more multi-nationals. They know they can find the services and expertise they require to move their ultra-heavy and out-of-gauge loads at every show.

With a targeted content program of world class events, guest speakers, Breakbulk Americas is more than a networking event. It turns into a mini industry college, where you can learn from the experiences and knowledge of true project cargo pioneers.
