Expertise in Logistics Management Across Generations

It all started in the 1970s when Mauril Sirois's ambition, combined with his family's involvement, paved the way for new and essential business opportunities in Canada.

Since 1990, Nova Containers has established itself as a leader in logistics management in Canada, offering comprehensive logistics coordination services — from origin to final destination — by road, rail, air, or sea. Our strength lies in a unique combination: expertise passed down through generations, a solid reputation for trust, and a strong global network that provides our clients with unparalleled peace of mind.

The Inspiration Behind Our Logo

The logo of Nova Containers Ltd is a visual embodiment of our mission in global logistics and freight movement. At the center of the design, the two bold orange arrows, pointing in opposite directions, represent import and export — the core flows that drive our business.Arranged in a dynamic upward pattern, they also form the letter “N”, a direct reference to Nova, our name and identity. The logo is set within a rectangular frame, deliberately chosen to evoke the shape of a shipping container. This design element anchors the concept of international freight and container logistics at the heart of our visual identity. Together, the structure, the symbolism, and the bold color contrast convey movement, precision, and global reach — values that define Nova Containers Ltd.
