TNT to expand in Poland
TNT Express plans to expand in Poland by opening five new facilities this year, with the latest new depot to open in Nowy Sacz, in southern Poland in September, the newspaper Rzeczpospolita reported.
Rafal Dziura, sales and marketing director of TNT Poland, said the company plans to grow its operations in Poland by up to 2 pct per year, aware that any more dynamic growth might threaten the quality of its services. “Poland is now not only a target country, but a transit point for the East, and it will stay that way,” he said.
According to the newspaper, TNT has a 40 pct stake in the international courier market in Poland, and a 4 pct-5 pct stake in the domestic courier market which is growing faster than the international segment.
TNT Express also wants to concentrate on the newly opened road link with Ukraine. The international road connection was launched earlier this year to handle growing shipping volumes to and from the Ukraine, one of Europe’s fastest-growing economies.
