Since 1972, SkyNet has done something unusual in global logistics: grown to a worldwide scale while staying independently owned. That independence has shaped how the network works — and who it works for.
Built market by market
Rather than bolting on regions from a head office, SkyNet grew by establishing real operations in each market. That's why, decades later, your shipment is still handled by a local team rather than a distant call centre.
Independence means we answer to customers, not shareholders.
Scale without losing the thread
Reaching 209 countries and over 1,100 hubs usually means losing the personal touch. Keeping ownership local at each step let the network scale without becoming faceless.
Still the same idea
Fifty years on, the founding idea hasn't changed: move goods reliably, be accountable, and stay close to the customer. The map is bigger; the principle is identical.
The bottom line
A half-century of independence isn't just history — it's the reason the network still feels local, wherever in the world your shipment is going.
