Established in 2018 under the previous name of 4Trans Factoring, the company embarked on a journey as a pioneering fintech company catering to SMEs in logistics. With thousands of registered small and medium-sized carriers, Malcom financed invoices towards logistics companies all over Europe, gaining substantial traction.
This laid a foundation for a company capable of providing a comprehensive portfolio of financial products and strategic partnerships within the logistics industry. The new identity – Malcom Finance – reflects not only our roots in international trade, but our commitment to financial innovation that empowers growth for SMEs.
Malcom Finance, a FinTech company providing financial products to this very segment, derives its name from the legendary Malcom McLean, the truck driver and self-made pioneer of container shipping. Just as McLean revolutionized global trade with his groundbreaking invention and entrepreneurial approach, Malcom Finance is poised to transform the world of finance for SMEs in logistics, globally.
Malcom Purcell McLean
(November 14, 1913 – May 25, 2001); was an American businessman. He was a transport entrepreneur who invented the modern intermodal shipping container, which revolutionized transport and international trade in the second half of the twentieth century. Containerization led to a significant reduction in the cost of freight transportation by eliminating the need for repeated handling of individual pieces of cargo, and also improved reliability, reduced cargo theft, and cut inventory costs by shortening transit time. Containerization is credited as being one of the main drivers of globalization.
