History & Timeline
For more than three generations, TCF has evolved to create services & solutions which are beneficial to our customers making us Leader in Integrated Logistics.
The journey started with our founder Mr. B. D. Singh laying down the foundation of Thakur Clearing & Forwarding in 1989 with a core team of 3 members as a government licensed custom house agent at Mumbai (Bombay) Port. We specialized in services for Pharmaceutical companies. And as years went by we increased our foray and diversified our offerings for various exporters & importers.
By the time we entered 21st century, we sensed a need of next generation logistics which would help customers to enhance their reach by our freight forwarding & supply chain management solutions. Hence, TCF Logistics Private Limited was incorporated on 14th March 2001. Since then, we have come a long way. In more than 30 years, we have set our sights on vision of our management team and worked towards achieving our goals.
As a family-owned business, it bestows us with the responsibility to keep our integrity in check and make sure we do right by delivering our commitments for the next hundred years and beyond.
TCF is, and always has been, a principles-led business. While we are proud of our past, we have our sights on the future. Everything we do is with a vision to contribute positively to the people we work and are associated with.
It’s a purpose we live by and is backed by our actions. We have been in the business of diverse innovation logistics for a long time, and we are confident that our work today will create the eco-system we want tomorrow.
