TNT Express and Norway Post sign agreement
As part of Norway Post’s efforts to offer its customers a new and better express delivery product, the company has signed an agreement with TNT Express to provide its customers with worldwide delivery services.
The agreement between Norway Post and TNT Express means that during May, Norway Post will begin selling Global Express services on behalf of TNT.
This will improve Norway Post’s offer of express delivery services to its customers, expand area coverage, reduce delivery times and increase
flexibility.
Arne Bjørndahl, Senior Vice President of Norway Post commented, “We carried out extensive research before concluding that TNT Express has the
best and most reliable global express service for us. The deal is good news for our customers as it gives them increased access to the international express parcels market.”
Under the terms of the agreement Norway Post will also undertake distribution of TNT’s express products in the Norwegian market with the exception of Oslo and its surrounding area where TNT operates with its own facilities and personnel. For TNT the agreement means increased sales and expanded
distribution of its express delivery services in the Norwegian market.
The international express products will be offered under the TNT brand and thus replace the EMS products Norway Post has been selling to date.
Consignment notes, documents and packaging will carry the TNT brand. The products will be available at most of Norway Post’s 1,500 post offices and
Post in Shops, as well as through TNT’s own sales channels.
Terje Ragnem, General Manager TNT Norway, TNT Express said, “We are absolutely delighted to be entering into this agreement with Posten Norge AS.
The combined benefits of the agreement will allow us to extend our reach within the region by offering our customers a wider ranging and more
competitive service.”
Tony Jakobsen, Regional General Manager, TNT Express Scandinavia is looking forward to another mutually beneficial agreement with a Scandinavian
postal authority. He says, “This is a further expansion of our co-operation with the Scandinavian Post Offices. In addition to this new agreement with Norway Post, TNT has agreements with Sweden Post who sell TNT’s SkyPak brand and supply TNT with transport services to its customers in the North and South of Sweden.”
