TNT built one of the continent's densest express road networks, connecting businesses in major industrial hubs from Amsterdam to Warsaw. Following FedEx's acquisition of TNT in 2016, the two networks have been progressively integrated, though TNT continues to operate under its own brand in many markets.

## About TNT

TNT was founded in 1946 in Sydney, Australia, by Ken Thomas. The company expanded into European express delivery in the 1970s and became one of the world's major logistics brands. After a series of corporate restructurings, TNT Express was spun off as an independent company in 2011. UPS attempted to acquire TNT in 2012 but was blocked by EU competition regulators. FedEx subsequently acquired TNT in 2016 and has been integrating the networks since then, while maintaining TNT's brand and European road express capabilities.
