by the 1990s , the tnt group had 70 , 000 employees . but its bid to become a worldwide player in transportation had led it to diversify very quickly – and it needed to find new investment .
one such partnership was established in 1992 , when ptt post joined its time - sensitive mail and freight services with those of australia ' s private tnt and the government - owned post offices of canada , france , germany , and sweden in the partnership gd express worldwide ( gdew ) . tnt , which , since its founding in 1946 had expanded to become one of the world ' s top four express mail and freight delivery businesses , took on a 50 percent ownership of gdew . before long , ptt post bought out gdew ' s public post office partners , so that gdew became a de facto joint venture with tnt .
the application of operations research ( or ) at tnt express during the past seven years has significantly improved decision - making quality and resulted in cost savings of 207 million euros . the global optimization ( go ) program initiative has led to the development of a suite of optimization solutions to assist the operating units of tnt express to improve their package delivery in road and air networks . to create and deploy these solutions , we established communities of practice ( cops ) , at which internal and external subject matter experts meet three times annually at an internal conference . we also created a unique two - year learning environment , the go academy , where employees of tnt express are taught the principles , use , and deployment of optimization techniques . as a result of these combined initiatives , or is now an effective part of the core values at tnt express .
s activities within australia , however , that suddenly brought the company to international attention in 1972 . tnt had continued to grow steadily since the 1967 merger , and it was well on its way to becoming the country
at a premium of a $ 1 . 00 to ease its liquidity problems . the hardest blow came when tnt revealed that it had lost nearly a $ 197 million for the fiscal year ending in june 1991 .
1 . tnt express is the world ' s leading business to business express delivery company . the company delivers 3 . 5 million parcels , documents and pieces of freight a week to over 200 countries using its network of nearly 900 depots , hubs and sortation centres . tnt express operates over 19 , 000 road vehicles and 43 aircraft and has the biggest door - to - door air and road express delivery infrastructure in europe .
s efforts to move into this market were accompanied by a series of wildcat strikes , mysterious bombings , and arson attacks . the damage caused by this interference was the first in a number of problems that would affect tnt
and the start of the tnt - ptt post relationship . an era also came to an end in 1992 when the colorful and autocratic abeles stepped aside as managing director , replaced by the lower - key david mortimer .
s history , when the company merged with another growing australian transport enterprise , the alltrans group . like tnt , alltrans was another company that began in a small way in the optimistic environment of postwar australia . one of alltrans
tnt expends its long haul network with a five day per week air cargo service linking moscow ( press release ) and its main european hub liege as well as with a direct flight between chongqing and liège ( press release ) .
for a $ 475 million . three months later koninklijke ptt neder - land ( kpn ) completed a friendly a $ 2 billion ( us $ 1 . 58 billion ) takeover of tnt , in one of the largest mergers in dutch history . kpn also gained full control of gdew as the other postal service partners in the venture sold out . the combination of ptt post and tnt created the most extensive express mail network in europe and one of the world
the cash flow provided by its share of ansett gave tnt renewed strength to pursue its international expansion plans . the company changed its international focus to concentrate on the united kingdom and europe as its most important growth area . this focus became clear in october 1980 when , sponsored by the british merchant bank hambros , tnt was listed on the london stock exchange , after removing itself from the toronto and vancouver exchanges earlier in the year . tnt was now well placed to expand into europe , although it continued to look for openings in the united states , buying another trucking and warehousing company , pilot freight carriers , while trans freight lines doubled its size by buying another container line , seatrain international .
to a new plant in wapping , in the face of fierce resistance from the printing unions , he also anticipated problems from the unions at british rail , which distributed all of his publications nationwide . murdoch , therefore , worked closely with tnt , whose u . k . manager , alan jones , built up a fleet of trucks in the weeks leading up to the transfer to wapping . the weekend before the move , jones hired 550 drivers , and when wapping began operating , tnt
the significant expansion of the ' mobile worker ' communications system follows the recent launch of tnt express ' enhanced tracking service , which allows customers to track and filter multiple shipments at every stage of the delivery process with one click of a mouse .
in the 1990s , the dutch national post - and - telecoms company was looking to expand its business overseas . it had had a monopoly in the netherlands for almost 200 years , but , with the arrival of modern communication technology , it needed to move with the times to protect its traditional mail business . in 1989 , it had become a private company , called kpn , giving it more flexibility and freedom to diversify . kpn took its first steps on the international express market in 1992 and , in 1996 , it acquired the tnt group , heralding a new era for the global post and express industry . by 1998 , kpn determined that the collaboration of their postal division with tnt would go it alone and divested tnt post group ( tpg ) to list independently on the stock exchanges of amsterdam , new york , london and frankfurt . to consolidate the brand and improve worldwide recognition , the name ' tpg ' was to be dropped in favour of ' tnt ' in 2005 .
on 6 december 2005 , tnt announces the acquisition of tg + , a leading spanish domestic distribution company , to expand and strengthen its domestic express business and to fuel its international express business in spain , a strategic market in europe with high growth potential .
in april 1998 , tnt opened its state - of - the - art european express centre ( eec ) in liège , belgium , to process all freight consignments within europe . it became the tnt air hub link with the rest of the world , being designed to handle 1 , 000 tonnes of freight per night via dedicated sorting systems and units specifically for documents , parcels and aircraft containers . later that year , in october 1998 , a new international road hub and national depot opened in duiven , the netherlands .
today , tnt express is a global company , operating in 200 countries around the world . but the company actually started from very humble beginnings , in australia back in the 1940s , when ken thomas set up his own transport business with just a single truck .
, which had begun in 1964 . the size of the new group gave it the base required to begin expanding internationally . tnt began an ambitious international acquisition program , starting with its entry into the tough u . s . trucking industry through the purchase of a
tnt ' s chief executive officer is peter bakker . other members of the board of management include bernard bot ( chief financial officer ) * , marie - christine lombard ( group managing director , express ) and harry koorstra ( group managing director , mail ) .
tnt express announces its intention to invest in operations and safety at liege euro hub . the liege extra fit programme ( lef ) will increase the hub ' s sorting capacity by 50 % and improve health and safety for the 1 , 500 employees . ( press release )
s network of domestic express businesses in europe . tnt reached an agreement with rival federal express whereby it would subcontract the delivery of inbound fedex packages to ten european countries , a deal consummated that same month . later in 1992 came the establishment of gd express worldwide ( gdew )
s troubled balance sheet . debt had been reduced to a $ 1 . 12 billion , but tnt posted losses of a $ 195 . 4 million for fiscal 1992 and a $ 256 . 7 million ( us $ 171 . 1 million ) for fiscal 1993 . with a $ 400 million in debt due for repayment in both fiscal 1994 and 1995 , the company was forced to step up its divestment program . in 1994 tnt sold the bulk of its shipping and development division for about a $ 125 million ( us $ 89 million ) . also divested was a car auctioning service in australia . for fiscal 1994 tnt posted a profit of a $ 105 . 1 million ( us $ 78 million ) , in large part because of a turnaround in ansett airlines and reduced losses at gdew , which had been suffering the effects of aggressive competition .
s next international step when he launched an attack on international shipping conferences and the effect these cartels had on the global transport industry and trade prospects . the following year tnt directly challenged one of the most powerful of these cartels , the north atlantic freight conference , comprising some of the world
the us $ 135 million deal is expected to give tnt a competitive road transport capability in china , the dutch company said . hoau ' s network includes 1 , 100 depots , 3 , 000 vehicles and 56 hubs in china covering all major and second - tier cities , it said .
, the company ' s focus , in terms of growth , was very much on europe . tnt acquired major companies in the overnight and express delivery industry . it was also the first transport company to buy its own aircraft , creating a pan - european overnight service using a dedicated fleet .
publish date : 25 july 2006 at 10 : 00 cet - amsterdam , tnt express - the leading global business to business express delivery company - today announced plans to install 14 , 000 extra ' mobile worker ' communication units in delivery vehicles across its global network over the next two years .
by the 1980s , the company’s focus , in terms of growth , was very much on europe . tnt acquired major companies in the overnight and express delivery industry . it was also the first transport company to buy its own aircraft , creating the first pan - european overnight service using a dedicated fleet .
s merchant express inc . , in 1969 . in 1970 tnt bought gill interprovincial lines in canada and acquired one - third of a shipping company , bulkships . over the next two years , the expansion continued with the purchase of another canadian operator , scott transport , one - sixth of the union steamship co . of
s annual revenue had increased tenfold from a $ 46 million in 1967 to a $ 462 . 7 million by 1977 , while its after - tax profits had risen over the same period from a $ 956 , 000 to a $ 15 . 3 million . such a swift expansion , however , had left the group exposed to a wide range of fluctuating markets and economies . tnt had bought heavily , was a relative newcomer in many of its markets , and was losing money from some of its operations in the difficult u . s . market . in 1977 to 1978 , for the first time since its public incorporation in 1961 , tnt
s existing courier networks , this gave the group bases in 49 countries and provided access to middle and far east markets . four months after the skypak acquisition , tnt bought ipec europe , the leader in the european international express freight market , complete with more than 60 purpose - built terminals and 600 radio - equipped vehicles .
the decision to introduce 14 , 000 extra ' mobile worker ' units in vehicles across our global network was made following successful trials in finland , uk , italy and singapore and will significantly improve the speed and efficiency of our global delivery operations ,
said shwan moubarak , director of information and communication services , tnt express .
two password - protected discs containing a full copy of hmrc ' s entire data in relation to the payment of child benefit was sent to the nao by hmrc ' s internal post system operated by the courier tnt . the package was not recorded or registered . it appears the data has failed to reach the addressee in the nao .
introduced as part of a global strategy for an integrated communication system across the world - wide delivery network , the in - cab ' mobile worker ' units communicate directly with tnt ' s main server in the uk . this enables hi - speed wireless communication of large quantities of data between depots and drivers , which improves driver efficiency and productivity .
among the first activities of the newly independent tpg was to reorganize its operations into two distinct units , ptt post and tnt worldwide , while shedding the noncore activities inherited from the tnt acquisition . the company also concentrated on the expansion of its mail handling facilities , including the opening of a state - of - the - art sorting facility in liege , belgium , an international road hub and depot in duiven , the netherlands , and the opening of six new netherlands - based sorting facilities replacing the 12 facilities that had been in existence since the early 1980s . while expanding its infrastructure , tpg also continued consolidating its international presence , acquiring jet services , an express service based in france and operating throughout most of europe , and in 1999 acquiring italy
, and , like thomas , set about building up his business . abeles would spend weeks driving his car through the australian bush , drumming up contracts for the fledgling business . although the merger with tnt involved discarding the alltrans name and thomas remaining head of the merged group , abeles soon emerged as the driving force in the company , its key strategist , and its public face .
the following year , ptt post stepped out of the shadows of its larger sister company when it reached an agreement to acquire the struggling tnt for some nlg 2 . 7 billion . the purchase , which placed ptt post roughly on the same revenue footing as ptt telecom , set the stage for the next evolution of the former state - run monopoly . in 1998 , ptt nederland announced that it was splitting into two entirely independent , publicly listed companies : royal kpn , which contained the company ' s telecommunications activities , and tnt post group ( tpg ) , which took over the company ' s postal , logistics , and express mail services wing , including both companies ' shares of the gdew partnership . both kpn and tpg retained listings on the amsterdam , new york , london , and frankfurt stock exchanges .
