History of FH Kaysing
He was a pioneer in the customs brokerage industry for over a half a century. He was a leader in the import community and vocal advocate for growth in the Kansas City area. He is Fred H. Kaysing, founder of the F. H. Kaysing Company. Mr. Kaysing was 21 years old and working for Chase Bag Company located in St. Louis, Missouri, when he entered into the Customs Brokerage Industry. He admitted it was purely accidental. “It was funny how I got into the business,” he said in an article from the Kansas City Star dated May 21, 1967. “My work with the bag companies put me in touch with the grain brokers from time to time. Then one day I saw an ad in the newspaper asking for a man to learn brokerage business. It turned out to be a customs house brokerage and I went to work for them as a runner, taking papers to the customs house.”
F.H. Kaysing was started in 1929 by Fred H. Kaysing. Today, our business still runs on the traditions of hard work, world-class customer service and the pursuit of professional excellence started by Mr. Kaysing. We strive to continue to be recognized as an example of honesty and integrity throughout the industry, and remain committed to keeping our clients informed and compliant with the Department of Homeland Security.
