TBS Logistics 15 Years: A Strong Transformation on the Path of Development

Over the course of 15 years of establishment and development, TBS Logistics – one of the six strategic pillars of TBS Group – has continuously risen to become a leading logistics enterprise in Vietnam. Since its challenging start in 2009, TBS Logistics has not only overcome various difficult stages but has also made significant strides, contributing positively to the development of the Vietnamese economy. With a long-term strategic vision, the correct leadership from the management, and a young, dynamic, and enthusiastic workforce, TBS Logistics has affirmed its position in the national logistics sector and is ready for the journey toward international expansion.

Fifteen years is not a long journey for the development of a business, but for TBS Logistics, it is enough time to demonstrate adaptability, creativity, and leadership in a field that requires high professionalism and flexibility. From its early steps, the company has made the right strategic decisions, always ready to innovate and continuously improve. The achievements of this journey are not only reflected in revenue and scale but also in the sustainable values TBS Logistics has built for the future.

Overcoming Challenges, Affirming Position

TBS Logistics began construction in 2007 and officially commenced operations in September 2009, at a time when the global economy was undergoing an unstable period with many challenges. The world’s financial situation was difficult, Vietnam’s manufacturing and logistics services were still in their infancy, and the market had yet to take full shape. In that context, TBS Logistics was founded with the mission of establishing a logistics center that provides high-quality services while offering maximum support to domestic and international enterprises in import-export activities.

Thanks to its agility in capturing market demands and strong investment in warehousing infrastructure and technology, TBS Logistics not only overcame early difficulties but also made its mark in the industry. In 2010 and 2011, TBS Logistics continued to invest aggressively, increasing its warehousing space to 71,500 m². The company further expanded with new warehouses, bringing the total warehousing area to 110,000 m², serving strategic partners in various sectors such as apparel, footwear, electronics, and manufacturing.

Expanding Scale, Diversifying Services
In 2013, TBS Logistics officially expanded its operations into the field of forwarding, providing both international and domestic freight transportation services. This was a bold yet strategic move, helping TBS Logistics not only offer warehousing solutions but also become an essential link in the global supply chain. Notably, the application of advanced technology in warehouse management and transportation has allowed TBS Logistics to optimize processes, improve operational efficiency, and better meet the stringent demands of its customers.

After overcoming its challenging initial phase, TBS Logistics entered a period of strong growth, with a vision to expand its operations throughout the Southern region. From 2015 to 2019, TBS Logistics continuously expanded its warehouse space, reaching 254,500 m², including large warehouses in key industrial production centers in Binh Duong and Dong Nai, while introducing new services to meet the ever-growing market demand. The year 2015 marked a significant milestone when Warehouse No. 5, with an area of 47,500 m², was put into operation. It was considered the largest warehouse in Southeast Asia for one of TBS Logistics' strategic clients.

Corporate Culture and Core Values
Alongside expanding its scale and improving service quality, TBS Logistics has always focused on building a strong corporate culture, creating an ideal working environment for its employees. With its core values system named STRIDE, TBS Logistics has clearly defined the important criteria guiding the company's operations and development.

Moreover, TBS Logistics places great emphasis on creating a safe, friendly, and sustainable working environment. The company is committed to continuously improving the welfare and living standards of its employees, ensuring the best social benefits, and maintaining harmonious relationships with partners, customers, and the community.

Vision to 2035: Aiming for Sustainable Development and International Reach
With the achievements of the past 15 years, TBS Logistics is continuing to build a long-term development strategy, aiming to become a leading logistics hub in Vietnam and the region by 2035. The company’s vision goes beyond expanding warehouse capacity and improving service quality, placing a strong emphasis on sustainable development, contributing positively to society, and protecting the environment.

Future plans for TBS Logistics include continued investment in advanced technology, building smart warehousing systems, and developing additional services. Furthermore, TBS Logistics aims to expand its international partnerships, strengthen connections with leading global logistics companies, and enhance its competitive position to bring optimal benefits to its customers.
In the near future, TBS Logistics will also accelerate the adoption of smart logistics solutions, leveraging advances in digital technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and blockchain to improve operational efficiency and better meet the increasingly diverse needs of the market. This is not only a strategic step to enhance competitiveness but also a contribution to the development of Vietnam's logistics industry, particularly as the Fourth Industrial Revolution continues to impact all economic sectors.

Looking back on its 15-year development journey, TBS Logistics has demonstrated that with a far-reaching vision and sound strategy, all challenges can be overcome. TBS Logistics’ success is not only reflected in the expansion of its operations but also in the affirmation of the enduring values of a brand that the company has built. These values not only benefit TBS Logistics but also make positive contributions to Vietnam’s logistics industry and the community.

TBS Logistics will continue to grow vigorously, with the goal not only to meet customer needs but also to lead in emerging trends within the global logistics industry. In particular, the company prioritizes optimizing the supply chain, promoting green logistics services, and implementing environmentally friendly solutions to reduce negative impacts on the ecosystem and contribute to building a sustainable economy.
