Our Legacy
MBLX was born from the heritage of M.G. Maher & Company, founded in 1949 in New Orleans and still serving global shippers today. In 1983, David P. Schulingkamp, a member of the founding Maher family, launched Maher Barge Service to address inland river cargo shipping needs.
In 1996, a strategic partnership expanded our capabilities, and the company was renamed MBLX.
In 2012 and 2013, M.G. Maher and MBLX joined Livingston International, gaining access to an expanded suite of North American services, including customs brokerage, cargo insurance, and compliance solutions—all while continuing to operate independently under the MBLX name.
