Copetran was founded on September 22, 1942, and established as the Cooperativa Santandereana de Transportadores LTDA (Santander Transport Cooperative Ltd.), in response to the need to strengthen passenger and freight transport at that time.
Initially dedicated exclusively to these two activities, it eventually positioned itself as a leading land transport company in Colombia. This growth allowed for the creation of complementary services to its core operations, such as Tourism, Express Courier, Money Transfers, Agreements and Channels, as well as Envelopes and Packages and Special Service.
Currently, its vision is to consolidate itself as a benchmark company in multimodal transport and comprehensive services at the national and international levels, connecting the entire country and offering timely and effective solutions to its clients and users.
