History

Founded in 1986 by Daniel Hudon, LL.B, the company was created as a same-day delivery service for businesses.

In 2000, with the exponential growth of e-commerce and the slow-down of traditional mailing, Canada Post buys 50% of Intelcom Express’ shares.[1] Critics question the fairness of the decision-making process at Canada Post. [2]

In 2007, Intelcom Express repurchases the shares from Canada Post.[3]
