[QUOTE="ExTNT, post: 382900, member: 16837"] Hello A TNT takeover by UPS (or FDX) would first of all from an operational aspect be a good match, and second financially because of a lot of operational synergies. - TNT has a marketshare of 24% of the European express market, who is more than UPS/FDX has together. - TNT has a with no doubt the best Road Network in Europe (DHL is far behind in quality). - TNTs Air European Network is strong and stands for high quality. - TNT has a modern Air Hub i Liege, Belgium who can take care of the UPS volumes easily. - TNT posts about 10% bottom line, which is very good industry wise. - The European economy will have growth in the years to come, unlike the U.S economy. The buyer can easily make a sell-off of the Dutch Postal Service to several private equity firms (like CVC), making the takeover cost far lower. I have read a lot about big culture differences between the companies, but hey...I formerly worked at TNT for serveral years and the company is runned in way like many other U.S companies. Strong and detailed management, extreme focus on cost saving projects and high pressure on sales... It is going to be a bid-race..I do not think FDX can sit comfortable and look at UPS eating TNT. FDX has a very weak European network... : -) [/QUOTE]
