Technology Logistics

Getting technology to market fast.

Technology runs on speed, and the products that power it often contain lithium batteries, which turns a simple shipment into a dangerous goods problem.

Mantoria is a Canadian logistics partner for technology companies, specializing in air-freighting high-value and battery-powered products into Canada from overseas. We handle the dangerous goods requirements that come with batteries, move fast when timing is critical, and deliver locally to the door. E-mobility makers like Veemo rely on Mantoria to import their products, batteries included, quickly and compliantly.

Technology moves fast, and so should its supply chain

In technology, being late to market is its own kind of failure. Product launches, restocks, and urgent replacements all run on tight timelines, which is why so much technology cargo moves by air rather than sea. Mantoria specializes in exactly that: fast, reliable air freight that keeps your product moving when waiting weeks for a container isn’t an option.

The complication is that many technology products, from e-mobility vehicles to consumer electronics, ship with lithium batteries, which are classified as dangerous goods. That designation adds paperwork, handling rules, and the risk of a shipment being held or refused. We manage all of it, so battery-powered goods move as smoothly as anything else.

What we move for technology

We handle high-value, time-sensitive, and battery-powered technology, including:

E-mobility products such as pedal-electric vehicles
Lithium batteries and battery-powered devices
Consumer electronics and components
Urgent replacement and launch stock

Because so much of this is classified as dangerous goods, technology shipments regularly draw on our dangerous goods expertise alongside our air freight service.

Case Study

Shipping Veemo, batteries included

Veemo, originally VeloMetro Mobility, is a Vancouver-based company that builds a semi-enclosed pedal-electric three-wheeler, bridging the gap between a bicycle and a car. Importing that product into Canada from China means importing batteries, which turns every shipment into a dangerous goods movement that has to be handled correctly and quickly.

The Challenge

Veemo needed an urgent shipment moved from China into Canada. Because the cargo included batteries, it wasn’t a shipment every forwarder can, or will, handle at speed, and delays or a mishandled dangerous goods declaration could stall the product entirely.

The Solution

Our air freight team, which specializes in dangerous goods, found a fast and affordable solution, managing the battery classification and handling requirements while keeping the cost down and the timeline short. We combined air freight, dangerous goods handling, and local delivery to take the shipment from origin to the door.

The Result

An urgent, battery-laden shipment delivered quickly and affordably, without the friction that dangerous goods usually create.

"Air freight team helps us find the best rates and work behind the scenes to make our goods ship effortlessly, whether a simple box or Dangerous Goods. I highly recommend Mantoria."
