Welcome to Inchcape

160 Years of History

Our story started in 1847 and is the tale of a great commercial dynasty founded by four intrepid Scotsmen who shared the pioneering spirit, and who dared to create a trading empire. Shipping merchants by trade, they were always looking to innovate and stay one step ahead of the competition. These courageous and visionary businessmen grew their company to international success, and established the reputation of caring for their customers that survives them.
