TMC

What TMC does

Thami Corporation (TMC) is a privately held Vietnamese international freight forwarding and logistics company headquartered in Ho Chi Minh City and founded in 1998. The company operates 11 offices across Vietnam covering all major economic zones — including Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Hai Phong, Da Nang, Binh Duong, Dong Nai, Can Tho, Bac Lieu, Nghe An, and Ca Mau — and serves as Cargo Sales Agent (CSA) for 50+ major airlines and preferred agent for leading ocean carriers such as Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM, ONE, COSCO, Evergreen, HMM, and ZIM.

TMC's core services span six integrated offerings: sea freight (FCL and bulk ocean shipments), air freight (24/7 time-sensitive cargo), master LCL consolidation (positioned as a leading consolidator from Vietnam to global ports), warehousing and nationwide domestic distribution, customs brokerage and project cargo handling, and shipping agency (NVOCC and forwarder services). The operating model is a direct B2B sales-led approach with dedicated sales logistics (NVKD) staff at each branch, supported by industry memberships in IATA, FIATA, WCA, Neptune, JCTrans, AV, GT, and VLA. Pricing is quote-based and transaction-fee per shipment, with no standardized public tiers.

Revenue is generated through transaction fees and airline/shipping line commissions across all six service lines, targeting import/export businesses, air cargo shippers, and ocean freight customers. The company holds 51–100 employees and has earned consecutive industry recognition from Cathay Cargo (Top 5 Cargo Agent in Ho Chi Minh City, 2022–2024) and China Airlines (Million Dollar Sales Agent, awarded twice including 2024), establishing it as a mid-sized but well-credentialed freight forwarder within the Vietnamese market. TMC is founder/management owned with no disclosed parent company, PE sponsor, or external capital structure.
