DJS INTERNATIONAL SERVICES

What began as a family business has become a proud tradition of unmatched customer service, carried on from one generation to the next.

In 1960, Darrell J. “Joe” Sekin, Sr. opened Darrell J. Sekin & Co., one of the first independent customs brokerage firms and bonded warehouses in Dallas. A creative problem solver, Joe was instrumental in transforming the Port of Dallas into an international business hub. He established and operated the first Foreign Trade Zone in Dallas (the first established in an inland port), as well as the first FTZ in Las Vegas. He also founded the North Texas Customs Brokers and Freight Forwarders Association (NTCBFFA).

Darrell J. Sekin, Jr. worked at Sekin & Co. for 20 years, learning the finer points of the trade and developing his business acumen under his father’s leadership.
