Deutsche Post Transport GmbH (formerly TNT Netzwerk Logistik GmbH)
coordinates long-haul traffic between Deutsche Post’s freight mail centers.

Deutsche Post Kontraktlogistik GmbH represents an important step
toward tapping the fast-growing value-added logistic services market.
The company offers industrial and service companies a broad range of
products covering the entire logistics value-added service chain. Besides
such traditional services as warehouse management, order processing,
dispatch preparation and distribution, Kontraktlogistik also offers ser-
vices in the purchasing and financial management fields. Already suc-
cessful in the marketplace with its three logistics centers, Kontraktlogistik
will soon be opening additional centers at other locations. In addition to
industry-specific logistics solutions, which already exist for the shoe and
clothing business, Kontraktlogistik will soon introduce specific logistics
solutions for companies in the mail-order and multimedia industries.
Deutsche Post acquired a 24.8 percent interest in trans-o-flex Schnell-

express delivery service with specific industry orientation and expertise.
It operates in Europe through its subsidiaries in six countries as well as
through the pan-European Eurodis Network in which it has an equity
interest. As a result, Deutsche Post is able to offer its customers first-
class service throughout Europe.
