Correos de Chile happy with progress
The year 2006 was a mixed one according to the general director of Correos de Chile, Patricio Tapia; the postal service was able to grow traffic and sales if a study carried out in September is to be trusted; in detail, the report suggested that Correos de Chile boasted an 80% postal market share and that it had grown its 8% packages and courier segment share to 17%; the company’s profits had been expected to peak at below USD 3.7mil but in the end Correos de Chile has been able to record USD 4.4mil for 2006. It will bring in a speedy packages and courier service in late 2007 and will also look to improve its transport network so as to keep up with growth (its transport is outsourced, Decatrans being its main provider).
