TNT, one of the world’s largest courier companies, is investing in the construction of an international warehouse in Eindhoven and launching air connections to Hanover. This is part of the company’s strategy to develop its European network, increase operational efficiency, and improve service quality.
TNT will build a new 6,350 sqm warehouse in Eindhoven, replacing the currently leased, smaller facility in the city. Completion is scheduled for June 2015. The warehouse will be equipped with a modern sorting and loading system and 99 docks for delivery vans and trucks. The new facility will increase operational efficiency, network capacity, and working conditions for 250 employees. Thanks to this investment, TNT will handle larger volumes of shipments and freight in Northwestern Europe, with direct deliveries to customers and daily road connections to the company’s hubs in Liege and Arnhem, as well as Northampton, Paris, and Zurich. The warehouse will specifically serve companies in the high-tech sector.
TNT is intensifying its operations in Europe’s largest express delivery market: Germany. Today, the company operates five weekly air connections here, linking Hanover with TNT’s international air hub in Liege (Belgium), as well as Billund (Denmark) and Oslo (Norway). The flights are operated by Boeing 737-400 aircraft. Hanover, the largest airport in Lower Saxony, is a convenient location for serving Northern Germany, including Hamburg, Bremen, and Magdeburg. Daily night flights from Liege to Hanover Langenhagen Airport enable the delivery of urgent shipments to the region before 9:00 AM. After unloading, the aircraft departs for Denmark. The plane from Hanover to Liege (departing from Oslo) leaves the German airport every night, allowing for late loading of goods from Northern Germany and delivery across Europe the next day. These services are particularly important for automotive and industrial companies that rely on precisely scheduled outbound and inbound transport.
