DPD Masterlink investment plans for 2007

DPD Masterlink investment plans for 2007 are expected to total 6 million euro. At the beginning of spring the company plans to set up a new, 5,000 square metre depot in Gdansk. This investment will cost approximately 2.5 million euro. The new depot will be built in compliance with the company’s strategy of seeking to purchase properties when establishing new branches, instead of renting the existing infrastructure. The costs of the investments planned for 2007 will be covered partially from the company’s own capital and through leasing agreements.

Employee numbers are also expected to continue to grow. At the end of 2006 DPD Masterlink employed 3,600 people. By the end of 2007 total employee numbers are expected to rise to around 5,000.
