Plans to expand our market leadership
It is our goal to consolidate and strategically expand our market leadership.
The LOGISTICS corporate division will rely on its good market position, a
broad range of products and an international customer base in accomplishing
that objective.
We wish to achieve our objectives by means of the following measures:We
will conclude the integration ofAEI,make greater use of cross-selling poten-
tials between the business units and within the Group as a whole, and de-
velop further as an all-round service provider for e-commerce businesses.
Furthermore,we hope to establish ourselves as a 4PL (fourth-party logistics)
service provider.A 4PL provider is a supply chain integrator that combines
the resources,services and technologies of its own organization with supple-
mentary services of other organisations to develop and implement compre-
hensive solutions along the entire logistics chain.
