Austria Post says no cooperation plans with Deutsche Post's DHL Express Austria
Austria Post AG has dismissed as ‘rumours’ media reports that it plans to launch a joint venture with the Deutsche Post AG unit DHL Express Austria, the Austrian press agency APA reported.
Chief executive Anton Wais told APA that the Austrian postal services group’s logistics unit trans-o-flex will launch its own same-day delivery service in September.
According to Wais, trans-o-flex Austria could account for 50 pct of the group’s overall parcels business in the medium-term.
Citing the trade publication KEP Meldungen, the Viennese daily Der Standard had earlier reported that Austria Post was pursuing a partnership with DHL-Express Austria.
