Company History

A New York State Corporation located just outside of JFK International Airport, Worldnet Shipping was formed in 1987 by Gary Stefanello and Thomas Dwyer. Their goal was to provide a full range of multi-model forwarding services. Together, they met this goal by providing state-of-the-art domestic & international mail and freight services. Since its inception, Worldnet has expanded to fulfill the needs of their clients and has seen a steady growth.
 
In 1996, Worldnet was approached by European postal authorities to handle their logistics for U.S. mail products. Worldnet took on this task and began handling the logistics which included air freighting, sorting, and induction into the USPS mail stream on a local level. This venture, paired with Worldnet's overall continued growth, led to the expansion of local induction into over 500 USPS Sectional Center Facilities throughout the U.S.A. This successful endeavor drove Worldnet to seek financial oppurtunities whereby U.S.A corporations could enjoy the benefits and postal discounts of this infrastructure.

In 2000, Worldnet sought out Douglas Longobardi to join their board of directors. Bringing more than just a solid client base, Doug also brought over 20 years of USPS postal rules, regulations and first hand mail experience.

Worldnet saw global development in 2001 by launching the opening of their U.K. facility, based in London's Heathrow Airport, headed up by Steve Tweddell, Director of Operations. This trend continued into 2002 when they  expanded again in special projects and time sensitive cargo in Aberdeen, Scotland. Aberdeen is run by directors, Ron Ritchie and Jan Ritchie.

From 2006 to 2008, additional offices have been opened in:

  • West Caldwell, New Jersey
  • South Bend, Indiana
  • Chicago, Illinois
  • Houston, Texas
Worldnet's "Coming to a City Near You" plans include:
