Description
Yunda is one of the “Tongdas”, which refers to the top four national express delivery companies that adopt the network partner model. In this model, Tongdas provide line-haul transportation, sorting, and waybill services to its network partners for fees, while its local network partners provide first-mile pickup and last-mile delivery services under the Tongdas’ brands and collect the customer payments. Unlike some other peers, Yunda controls 100% of its hub-level transit centers, ensuring higher quality assurance. The company was founded by couple Nie Tengyun and Chen Liying. Nie remains the Chairman and President, with a 54.8% stake as of Sept. 30, 2023. Yunda’s strategic shareholder is leading China e-commerce company, Alibaba Group, with around a 1.99% interest.
