TNT Forms “Mail Alliance”

TNT Post has signed an agreement with Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrinck, Citipost-Verbund and Logistic-Mail-Factory to establish “mail alliance” in Germany. With this alliance, TNT strengthens the existing co-operation with the mail distribution companies of German publishers.

The “mail alliance” offers a solution for regional customers with nationwide volumes. The partners of the alliance will create a platform to exchange their interregional mail volumes.

At the start, parties will interlink in a nationwide exchange system of more than 50 distribution companies via four hubs, an IT framework and a same-day transportation network, in collaboration with TNT Express.

Parties will leverage on existing assets and the alliance will not require additional investments in logistic infrastructure.

Other publishers and mail companies are invited to join the alliance in the course of this year.
