TNT Post in Germany broadens household coverage through a strategic partnership with the Georg von Holtzbrinck publishing group
Bericht
Amsterdam, 16 June 2009 – Today TNT Post Germany strengthens its position by acquiring shares in the regional mail companies of the Georg von Holtzbrinck publishing group. TNT Post currently covers around 90% of Germany with a nationwide delivery network. For this network TNT works together with a lot of distribution partners and in key economic areas TNT has its own network covering around 26% of German households. With this strategic partnership TNT Post increases this coverage for the distribution of letter mail items to more than 40% of all German households and will benefit from further regional growth potential. Combining the local companies of Georg von Holtzbrinck with TNT Post’s expertise and national infrastructure will create a platform for further increase of market share and innovation. Both parties are convinced that this combination will deliver value for money for the customers.
Harry Koorstra, member of the board of TNT: “Although there is, due to the ongoing uncertainties regarding minimum wage and VAT, still no level playing field on the German postal market, this distribution partnership is important to maintain and strengthen the position as leading alternative provider of mail services in Germany. It enables us to offer a wider portfolio of mail distribution services to our customers.”
Included in this strategic distribution partnership are two 50% joint ventures in the Berlin and Brandenburg area and five minority participations of 25.1% in the areas of Cottbus, Freiburg, Konstanz, Saarbrucken, Trier and Würzburg. In total the companies generated revenues of EUR 116 million in 2008.
