TNT sees highest growth on Chinese market, by 63%

Courier company TNT, one of the top three players on the local courier market, posted an over 25% turnover increase in the first half of this year, with international shipment being the sales driver. "We are seeing a 25% increase for international courier services, and a higher increase domestically. However, in absolute terms, revenues are preponderantly generated by international shipment, which allows us to see a sustainable growth," said Bogdan Zafiu, sales & marketing manager of TNT Romania. TNT's top partner countries are Germany, Italy, France and the UK, while in terms of volume growth, China is the leader, with an over 63% rise on H1, 2007. TNT Romania posted sales worth around 33 million euros last year, according to the growth rate announced by the company, and this year, turnover could exceed 40 million euros, if the 25% growth rate seen in the first half of the year is preserved until the end of the year.
