Swiss Panalpina not interested in Dutch TNT Logistics Division

Posted by | Dec 14, 2005 | |

Swiss logistics company Panalpina Welttransport (Holding) AG is not interested in the takeover of the Logistics division of Dutch mail and logisticscompany TNT NV, Panalpina spokesman Martin Spohn said on December 14, 2005. We are not considering such large acquisition, which is not in line with our strategy to take over small specialised companies, Spohn added.

Swiss logistics company Kuehne & Nagel International has recently said, a large acquisition was improbable in the near future because the company was engaged with the integration of a large acquisition in France.

Industry awaits TNT’s logistics sell-off

Posted by | Dec 12, 2005 | |

There are also questions about the timing of the move by the Netherlands-based mail, express and logistics group, and the reasons behind it.

Announcing its decision largely to withdraw from logistics during next year, TNT stated last week that a strategic review of its businesses had concluded that the group’s strength lay in designing, implementing and running de- livery networks in the mail, express and freight management sectors.
