Nordic commerce favours the parcel market
Pan Nordic Logistics AB, PNL, reached a turnover of 1.5 billion SEK and a result before tax of 52 millions SEK – a growth of 28 per cent compared to 2006. Some of the reasons to the positive result are that PNL has focused on specific areas and that the commerce between the Nordic countries have risen favouring the parcel market.
It is a strong result showing that PNL is an important and big player on the cross-border parcel market within the Nordic countries. PNL has a unique infrastructure in the Nordic countries which is where its main competences lie. The strategy is and has been to focus on what PNL does best, delivering parcels to, from and within the Nordic region.
- Already in 2006 we had sales representatives in the Netherlands, and to meet the demands from our European customers we are now also represented in Germany. We have even taken a strategic step and entered into cooperation with a partner in Asia, says Benny Rhe Hansen, CEO in Pan Nordic Logistics.
