New TNT Express depots in Germany and Italy
TNT Express has laid the foundation stone for a new logistics centre at Rostock airport in northern Germany, investing EUR 3.7 million in the new depot. In addition, the company opened two new branches in Italy this month.
In spring 2009, the current depot in Guestrow, which is 17 km away from Rostock, will be moved to the new site, which lies on a 12,000 sqm plot of land. Some 40 employees will work at the new facility.
Separately, TNT Express Italy has opened two new branches. The new depot at Verona, northern Italy, where about 200 staff are employed, is located in an industrial area close to the nearby motorway and benefits from the latest security facilities. The site is used for local distribution during the day and as a sorting hub for nationwide shipments during the night. TNT also opened a new branch at the coastal port of La Spezia following an investment of some EUR 400,000.

Its operational core is a 1,100 sqm sorting centre which is nearly the double size of the previous one. State-of-the-art sorting equipment will shorten transit times of customer shipments even further. The office area with about 920 sqm is also considerably larger compared to the 200 sqm in the current depot.
“With the new building, TNT Express is giving a clear signal to strengthen the region,” explained Thomas Kraus, head of TNT Express Germany. “The region along with TNT Express will profit from the growing shipment volumes in the Baltic Sea area.”
