De Keyser Thornton was established in 1853, and is up until today one of the oldest and largest privately owned shipping agencies in Antwerp.
In 1948, DKT-management decided to expand the scope of services offered, and created De Keyser Expeditions, a forwarding company.
In 2000, DKT became a member of the French Naxco-group, a leading fully integrated logistics service provider.
Since then, the DKT-group has further expanded through a number of acquisitions and strategic partnerships.
- Two shipping agencies, Unamar and Trimar, were bought.
- The commercial activities and staff of SBTC-Sotramar, a leading project-forwarder, were taken over.
- A majority shareholding was acquired in DAS logistics, a Brussels-based airfreight forwarder.
- A new shipping-agency, DKT Allseas shipping, was started in the London-area, in partnership with UK-based
Allseas Global Logistics.
Additionally, the DKT-group is a member of several worldwide networks, enabling us to offer our services on a worldwide scale.
WE OFFER OUR CUSTOMERS A TOP QUALITY SERVICE, AND APPROPRIATE SOLUTIONS FOR ALL THEIR LOGISTIC NEEDS.
