New Chronoexpress office in Malaga, Spain
Chronoexpres, the express parcel subsidiary of Spanish postal operator Correos, has opened a new depot in Malaga as part of its policy of continuing to modernize and improve its infrastructure.
The new facility significantly exceeds the capacity of the premises that have been used in the city until now. Covering 2,500 sqm, the depot will handle more than two million shipments every year. The new automatic parcel sorting system will have capacity to process 2,000 parcels per hour.
The workforce will consist of 24 employees, excluding drivers, and about 55 vehicles will transport goods from and to the new facility each day. The depot will serve the Andalusia city and the surrounding province.
According to Chronoexpres, the new depot will significantly strengthen its position in the south of Spain, which is a key region for the Correos subsidiary. In 2006, Chronoexpres generated revenues of more than EUR 12 million in the region. This year it expects business to grow further thanks to improved service quality.
