Our history

Jetpak’s history stretches all the way back to 1979 when the idea that would eventually become Jetpak was born – to utilise unused load space on aeroplanes. In the beginning, the company’s operations focused on transporting goods from airport to airport via cargo planes, eventually developing to guarantee delivery times for domestic shipments. It turned out that customers also required speedy ground transport with pick-up and delivery options, which is what led to a collaboration with the delivery vehicle chain AdenaPicko’s in 1986.

Jetpak AB was founded in 1991. As customer requirements for fast ground transport increased, Jetpak merged together with AdenaPicko’s in 2004. This unique combination of ground and flight transport operations continued to grow until it eventually developed into the current form that Jetpak assumes today.

In 1995, Jetpak was acquired from Bilspedition by SAS, which expanded the company into Denmark and moved it into certain other geographic areas in Europe and elsewhere. In 2006, SAS sold Jetpak to Accent Equity and Polaris Equity, which continued to develop the Jetpak network on a national level to continue expanding across Europe. In 2011, the company was expanded into Estonia and the Baltic Region with its own business operations for this region.

In 2012, Jetpak became wholly owned by Polaris Equity which continued to develop the brand and started launching new products such as “next-day” deliveries. The Jetpak By Night venture in Norway was also discontinued at this time. In 2015, the company updated its brand profile and launched “next-day” deliveries. Over the coming years, the company continued to strengthen its last-mile network through smaller acquisitions in Borås and Malmö in 2016 and in Västerås and Helsingborg in 2017. In 2017, the company also continued European expansion into Poland and Germany.
