Where this potential concentration process might lead to? As a matter of fact, several large operators are presently trying to buy shares of, or even entire operators, so as to prepare themselves for the total liberalisation of the market.

Geopost Expands the DPD Network to Slovenia

Posted by | Sep 1, 2004 | |

GeoPost continues the step-by-step expansion of the international DPD Parcel & Express network. As of today, Slovenia, represented by new franchise partner kurirska in paketna distribucija, has joined the permanent network, thereby extending the DPD network across the Balkans and into the new EU countries.

The keystone of this expansion is a joint venture with Austrian franchise partner Lagermax. Geopost will hold a 70% stake in the enterprise with the other 30% being held by Lagermax. This renewed cooperation, which has previously led to successful joint ventures in Hungary and Croatia, will enable DPD’s main shareholder GeoPost to further expand its international network within Central and Eastern Europe. Thanks to its Austrian-based network, Lagermax has traditionally had close ties with the Balkan states and respectively has the advantage of an existing infrastructure in South-East Europe.
