History

In the early 1990s, factories in Shunde needed to get samples to Hong Kong-based buyers, but frequently had issues with long shipping delays. To speed up this process, Founder Wang Wei established ShunFeng Express as a small courier service with six employees, launching in 1993[5] providing service between Hong Kong and Guangdong Province.

In January 2010, SF Airlines started scheduled cargo services, with 41 aircraft,[6] to provide services such as one-day and next-morning deliveries.[7]

In July 2017, SF Express used backdoor listing to begin trading on the Shenzhen Stock exchange, involving an asset swap with listed company Maanshan Dintai Rare Earth & New Materials Co.[8][9] SF Express was added as a constituent of SZSE 100 Index on 12 June 2017, effective on its first trading day.[10]

SF Express has opened at least 500 Heike[11] (Chinese: 嘿客) — an online shopping service community store, across all Chinese provinces — except for in Tibet and Qinghai. The company had plans to open 4,000 Heike stores nationwide in 2014.[12]

In February 2019, SF Express acquired the supply chain operations in China, Hong Kong and Macau from Deutsche Post DHL. Formed a new subsidiary as SF DHL Supply Chain China.[13]

SF Express operates one of the largest networks of self-service locker kiosks in Hong Kong with 939 kiosks in October 2020.[14]
