Coirsa was founded in 1984 by Mr. Rene Mendez and his wife. Their family had been representing shipping lines in the ports of Guatemala for over 80 years. Mr. Mendez and his family first gained their experience working for the family business and later, directly with the Agents of P & O Nedlloyd, Baltic Shipping, CCT, Hapag-Lloyd, Mexican Line, C.P. Ships, Evergreen, Marfret, Streamline and others, through Cental American countries.
Coirsa provided a strategy and successfully executed a plan for TMM to provide its service through Puerto Quetzal container port. The result greatly increased container movements.
In 1987, Coirsa opened the market for TMM in Honduras and was granted the Agency for that country. With the acquisition of TMM by C.P. Ships, Coirsa was granted the Agency for Lykes Lines and Italia Di Navigazzione in Guatemala and Honduras based on their performance.
