GLS signs up MNG as Turkey partner

GLS has improved its coverage of Turkey, including faster transit times, by signing up MNG Kargo as its new network partner for the fast-growing market.

MNG Kargo has been realising nationwide parcel distribution for all GLS companies since May 2008. Beginning in July, it will feed parcels from Turkey into the pan-European GLS network, the Royal Mail parcels subsidiary said.

The Istanbul-based company, with 2,000 vehicles and over 6,000 employees, is the third largest provider on the Turkish CEP market, according to GLS. MNG Kargo has a nationwide network of 26 hubs and over 600 branches, as well as 1,150 mobile service stations covering remote regions.

In addition, it is the only company in Turkey that has eight of its own freight planes to handle parcel and express distribution. By combining air and road transports, MNG Kargo realises deliveries for standard parcels within 24 hours for distances of up to 1,000 kilometres. Deliveries to more distant national destinations take 48 hours.

Within the framework of the new partnership, regular delivery time for parcels departing from GLS’ European hub in Neuenstein (Germany) to Turkey was reduced by one day. GLS parcels shipped from the GLS European hub are now en route for two to three days. Shipments that arrive at the hub on the evening of the first day from different European countries are shipped via airplane to Istanbul the next morning. Customs clearance usually takes place that same afternoon; delivery commences the following day.

Like all network partners, MNG Kargo is linked to the GLS pan-European IT system. Since the individual code of each parcel is scanned at each interface in Turkey, seamless Tracking & Tracing is guaranteed.

MNG Kargo belongs to the MNG Group of Companies, a group consisting of over 40 companies operating not only in the transport sector (including its own airline) but also in the energy, construction, tourism, financial and media sectors.
