180 years of preeminence in shipping
Learn about our history
John Norton established Norton & Co. in 1841, and we have since sprouted into the most reliable and longest-running ship agency in America. For over 180 years, our clients have depended on us to come through for them time and time again.
Now Norton Lilly International, we have grown our modest roots into a dense, embedded network crisscrossing the Western Hemisphere, from Canada to Panama and Guam to the Caribbean. There is simply no replacement for our veteran perspective when it comes to success in professional maritime industries.
