DPD brand business development in the CIS Countries to exceed 50 million euros

Posted by | May 27, 2008 | |

In response to growing customer requirements for quality parcel and freight delivery within the CIS, GeoPost and Yurtiçi Kargo have made a decision to enter the transportation logistics markets of the CIS countries under the DPD brand.

The range and quality of transportation logistics solutions to be offered in the CIS, by the companies trading under the DPD brand, will be similar to those provided by DPD in Russia.

Businesses in Kazakhstan and the Ukraine are already fully operational. The DPD Max service was recently launched in Kazakhstan; the service represents a reliable domestic road-based parcel and freight delivery solution. The first DPD Max route was opened between Almaty, the business capital of Kazakhstan, and Astana, the country’s official capital. The DPD Max service is an unmatched offer in

Kazakhstan’s transportation logistics services market. In addition to the traditionally high level of DPD’s service quality, the service also represents an effective solution for environmentally-conscious customers. Due to the service’s road-based approach, the CO2 emissions of road-based freight transport are lower than transporting that same freight by air. In the near future, the DPD Max service will also be launched in the Ukraine.

The opening of a number of branches within the CIS is planned for the near future, for example, in Kazakhstan there will exist 9 branches, by 2013. Total investment in DPD business development in the Ukraine and Kazakhstan between 2008 and 2012 will exceed EUR 50 million.

In addition to Kazakhstan and the Ukraine, plans are in place to enter other CIS markets with strong development potential.
