Seur to double overseas business within a year after La Poste tie-up

Posted by | Feb 24, 2005 | |

The recent tie-up between Seur and France’s La Poste has set up the Spanish delivery services group for strong international growth over the next five years.

According to Ramón Mayo, the vice president of Seur España, the alliance with La Poste will see the contribution of the Spanish group’s international operations to total turnover double within a year to 14 percent from 7 percent.

La Poste unit GeoPost acquired a 12.5 percent stake in Seur España out of the 21 percent put on the block by the founder of the Spanish group Justo Yúfera in February. The remaining 8.5 percent ended up in the hands of the 64 remaining partners in the transportation business.

Mayo said Seur had been looking at ways off expanding its overseas business for some time. However, he said the process of finding an international associate was complicated by the structure of the group, which is organized around 85 franchises handed out by its partners.
