Our journey
in delivering innovative transport solutions
In March 1977 the founders of Unifeeder, Peter Bohnsen, and Tonny D. Paulsen, turned their strong faith in the feeder concept into reality by chartering a vessel capable of carrying the equivalent of 100 20’ containers. With their well-rounded background in shipping and international transportation, the two Danes laid the foundation for what would become a wide business platform.
Since its foundation in Aarhus in 1977, Unifeeder has grown from the biggest and best-connected Feeder network in Europe to being an international logistics company, providing efficient and sustainable logistics services to the Middle East, Africa & Asia.
