In 1990, five freight forwarding companies from the Pacific Rim formed a central organization, which was then known as the Trans Pacific Freight Group (TPF). The original member companies' aim was to create a global network of freight forwarding business partners, with the objetive of lending support to independent freight forwarders.
By 1994, the group consisted of 12 companies, this warranted the opening of an administrative office and the engagement of an Executive Director, this was accomplished in 1995. By then, the membership of the group had grown to a staggering 20 companies, located in Asia, Europe, South America and Africa. As the group grew the name was changed to TPF Forwading Network to better reflect the global composition of the group's membership. TPF was incorporated in the State of California to formalize the group.
In 2006, TPF went through a process of modernization. The administrative office was changed into a management office and a full time General Manager was hired to run it. There was also a total change in TPF's corporate image and an increase in the services and activities it offers its members.
Today, with more than 50 members and over 90 offices around the world, TPF can offer international forwarding and logistics services to exporters and importers across the five continents.
