Trans-o-flex, the German based express company, has added TAT Express as its new partner for the French market in their European distribution network EURODIS. Beginning in February 2007, TAT Express will deliver all France-bound trans-o-flex shipments. In existence for 31 years, TAT Express employs 1,300 people, and has annual sales in the region of €143 million, transporting about 14 million shipments. Since 2005 it has ceased to be a subsidiary of La Poste and is owned by a private investor and the management.
Klaus J. Heinz, trans-o-flex CEO, on the new partner: "TAT Express is perfectly suited for a partnership with us, as our systems are very similar: high quality, the ability to carry parcels as well as pallets, use of the shipment concept, high competence in IT and the possibility to shift hazardous goods shipments in large quantities safely and reliably."
