De Keyser Thornton Naxco (Belgium)

De Keyser Thornton was founded in 1853 and is up until today one of the oldest and largest privately owned shipping agencies in Antwerp. DKT has evolved from shipping agency to logistic partner, who offers a completely integrated logistic service.
In 2000, DKT became part of the French Naxco-group, specialised in shipping industry and transport related activities.
In 2006, the DKT-group bought two companies: Unamar and Trimar.
Early 2008, the DKT-group took over the activities and staff of SBTC-Sotramar, a very renowned Antwerp forwarder, specialised mainly in project cargoes and chemicals. Thanks to this acquisition, we managed to expand our forwarding activities considerably. On this occasion, the forwarding-leg was renamed Sotramar & De Keyser nv.
Although liner agency is still the core business, the DKT-group has expanded over the years and today offers a wide range of transport related services. In addition to shipping agency services, we are active in chartering, ship’s management and tramp-agency, forwarding and warehousing, container logistics, trucking and intermodal transport. This complete range of activities enables us to offer our customers a completely integrated service.
