About Us
River International is a proudly Irish-owned freight forwarding and customs clearance company based in Shannon, County Clare. Established in 1992 by Niall Gavin – a seasoned logistics professional with experience at Reindear Shipping, Elan/DHL, UPS/WW, and Federal Express – the company was built on a commitment to combining industry expertise with genuine customer care.
From the outset, River International set out to bridge the gap between traditional freight forwarders and global integrators. That approach continues today, as we deliver tailored, compliant, and efficient solutions – combining the reach of major networks with the flexibility and personal touch of a trusted local partner.
With decades of experience and a strong team behind us, we focus on what matters most: keeping things clear, responsive, and moving – for our customers across Ireland and beyond.

Who Are We
Having worked with FedEx for five years and subsequently offering a link into the FedEx service for the past seven years, River International is seen by many as the FedEx operation in the Mid West area of Ireland.Established and owned by Mr.Niall Gavin,who had previously been part of the Management Teams at Reindear Shipping, Elan/DHL, UPS/WW and Federal Express.In June 1992, Niall decided to try setting up his own business after Federal Express closed it’s operation in Ireland, making him redundant along with 150 other people Rather than take part in the war between Integrators and Freight Forwarders it was decided to try and bridge the gap,as a result today River International utilises the services of the Integrators and also operates on behalf of several large multinational Freight Agents.
