What Antwerp City Express does

Antwerp City Express bvba is a Belgian private limited company founded in 1993 that operates as a same-day express courier service from dual departure points in Antwerp and Brussels. The company provides national and international courier services covering Antwerp, Brussels, Luxembourg, Paris, and Amsterdam, targeting business clients in medical, technology, and legal verticals as well as individual consumers with time-critical shipment needs.

The company's service portfolio spans core Express Koerier (same-day national and international delivery), Sneltransport (professional time-critical transport for medical, technology, and legal sectors), Same-Day Koerier (24/7 urgent delivery with real-time tracking), Fietskoeriers (bike couriers for eco-friendly urban deliveries of small envelopes and packages), Bezorgservice voor Pakketten (general package delivery), and Koeriersprinters (combined printing and courier service). Operations are supported by an in-house transport planning and route optimization system, a real-time track-and-trace platform, and an own-fleet model complemented by carefully selected subcontractors and bike couriers. No mobile applications, public APIs, or AI/ML-driven systems are disclosed.

The business operates on a sales-led, quote-based revenue model with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. Customers request services through a website contact form, email, or phone. The company maintains no social media presence or content marketing channels and relies on direct relationship-driven sales. With approximately 10 employees and a subcontractor-extended fleet, Antwerp City Express functions as a small, regionally focused courier with selective European corridor reach rather than a scaled logistics platform.
