France’s state-owned La Poste mail carrier wants to double the size of its DPD international package delivery business by the end of next year by expanding its network of partners worldwide, Claude Begle, head of the unit, told the Financial Times Deutschland. ‘Our goal is to double the size of our business by the end of 2006,’ Begle told the Financial Times Deutschland. ‘In order to do this we will build up a worldwide package delivery network together with partners on four continents.’ The newspaper also said that the decision to expand DPD outside of Europe represents a radical shift in La Poste’s strategy. Previously, La Poste saw DPD as primarily a European company.
