In 1946, Antonio C. Delgado, together with brothers Jose and Francisco, introduced an innovative and enterprising concept called Caltex Floating Station, which provided a more systematic method of servicing the fuel and water requirements of ships docked in Manila Bay.

In the 50`s, DELBROS was awarded the right to operate the Port of Manila Arrastre Service. Significantly, it was also at this time that the company introduced the “pallet system” which finally mechanized operations in the Port of Manila. The country`s first Professional Overseas Removals and Household Moving services was made available by DELBROS.

The 70`s is characterized as a period of nationwide political, social and economic turmoil. But this failed to slow down DELBROS`s steady expansion. DELBROSwent on to build the largest fully integrated transportation company in the Philippines, offering air, land, and sea freight forwarding service. During the Vietnam War, DELBROS was also the country`s largest military mover.
In the 80`s, DELBROS has become the Total Transportation Company.
