Mex opens new branches in Spain
Spanish courier Mex has opened 14 new branches in the last two months as part of a major expansion drive across Spain, taking its total number of outlets to over 200.
The carrier, fifth in the Spanish express market behind DHL, Seur, MRW and TNT, according to the journal “Logística, Paquetería y Almacenaje”, opened five new agencies in Barcelona, four in Valencia and one each in Madrid, Seville, Zamora, Vizcaya and Tarragona. It now has 32 and 28 outlets, respectively, in the Barcelona and Madrid regions.
Mex totalled revenues of EUR 171 million in 2005, 16% up on the previous year and said it increased its number of new clients by 20%. It founded in 1982 as Mundiexpress, changing its name in 1996 to Grupo Mex as it launched franchises throughout the country.
The carrier has 1,650 employees, over 1,000 vehicles and small aircraft, and in December signed up for international deliveries with Sky Net, which in Spain ships out of Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia.
