TNT shipping: its history
TNT shipping was founded in 1946 in Australia by Ken Thomas under the name Thomas Nationwide Transport, the acronym TNT. After growing consistently and being present everywhere in the world, it was bought by the Dutch Post in 1996.
In 2011 there was the spin-off of the various business units and thus TNT Express came into being, a company dedicated to the services of express courier. The chosen venue was Hoofddorp, right near the main Dutch airport, Schiphol Airport (Amsterdam). Thus, TNT courier immediately started operating in parcel shipping abroad. Its parcel shipping services by air and road reach Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas.
In 2016, the company was acquired by another major player in the industry, the American FedEx. This transaction enabled the TNT courier to further expand its logistics network and broaden its range of parcel, document and pallet shipping services.
