arsten Dalbo, Head of Logistics & E-commerce, PostNord Denmark, commented: “Our purchase of G.P. Spedition’s operations means that we are now able to integrate a strong team of forwarders into our Danish organization. The know-how they bring will provide us with a stable foundation and speed up the development of our operations in the Danish pallet and freight markets and thereby strengthens our Nordic offering.”
G.P. Spedition Aps was owned by Allan Søndergaard and Jørn Jacobsen. Following the purchase, Jørn Jacobsen will head up PostNord’s Road Freight organization in Denmark.
