TNT Express celebrates 60 years of successful delivery 1946 – 2006
TNT Express today announced the 60th anniversary of the company’s first operations, which began in Australia in 1946. Delivering 3.5 million parcels, documents and pieces of freight every week to over 200 countries across the world, TNT Express reported profits of 474 million euros in 2005. When the company was first established with a single truck in Australia at the end of the Second World War, TNT Express made a profit of eight dollars per week during the first few months of trading, hauling timber, glass bottles, cement and soil. “Evolving from a small Australian enterprise into a globally recognised brand which employs 48,000 people across the world is a great achievement. With the on-going development of new customer-focused services and additional air and road routes that offer unlimited capacity, we are confident that TNT Express will maintain its success over the next 60 years,” said Marie-Christine Lombard, Group Managing Director, TNT Express.
