History
In 1946, Ken Thomas founded 33 years and a Truck KW Transport, which initially offered trips between Melbourne and Sydney. In the 1950s, the Australian transport industry was booming, so it KW Transport in 1958 in Thomas Nationwide Transport (TNT) renamed. For Australian transport industry also scored the Australian company all trans, which was founded in 1950 by Sir Peter Abeles and George Rockey. The two companies merged in 1967 together and offered their services under the name TNT.
The Dutch state postal company Koninklijke PTT Nederland ( KPN ) was privatized in 1989 and PTT Nederland. The IPO on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange took place in 1994. The postal service changed its name from 2002 as a PTT Post and from 16 October 2006 as TNT Post BV today approximately 75,000 employees.
The end of 1996 PTT Nederland took over the Australian TNT. The telecommunications sector was spun off in KPN ( Koninklijke PTT Nederland) in early 1998 and the PTT postal services with the TNT express and logistics services were bundled under the umbrella of TNT Post Group (TPG ). The group name was in 2005 TNT N.V. changed.
TNT Logistics was on 23 August 2006 to the U.S. financial investor Apollo Management LP sold, who renamed it in CEVA Logistics. CEVA Logistics has more than 600 camp sites with an area of over 7 million square meters in 25 countries and over 41,000 employees ( 2006 data ).
Splitting of mail and express business
In December 2010, the then CEO Peter Bakker TNT announced that it was preparing the separation of postal and express business into two publicly traded companies. Bakker justified this step with missing synergies and different market requirements between the two areas. While the sharp decline in mail business must fix on existing markets, experience the Express division a large growth, that further to it. The shareholders' meeting approved this plan in late May 2011. On 26 May 2011, TNT Express was listed on the NYSE Euro Next and was an independent company.
The former letter division of TNT operates as a " PostNL ". The renaming was launched in the Netherlands. It will be a transitional period in the other countries where the company operates, done. In Germany, the company changed its name in March 2014 as TNT Post Germany. Since then, the company name is PostCon. The brand " TNT" remains the Express division reserved.
Failed takeover by UPS
In February 2012, TNT Express announced that the American Logistics Group UPS had made the offer, the Dutch express service for 9 euros per share - a total of 4.9 billion euros - to take over. TNT Express rejected this as too low from first. On March 19, followed the message, both companies have agreed to. TNT Express should for now 9,50 euro per share - to be sold at UPS - a total of 5.2 billion euros. In Europe, UPS would have been after the TNT acquisition to competitors on an equal footing with Deutsche Post DHL.
The proposed merger was scrutinized by the European Commission. In October 2012, she informed the company with some objections, which were based on competition concerns. TNT Express and UPS suggested then to divest of assets and thereby but to allow the takeover yet. Among other things, TNT Express sold the Group's own airline TNT Airways and PANAIR to the ASL Aviation Group - under the condition that the merger with UPS would be completed as planned. Again, this was not enough to dispel the EU's concerns. In January 2013, the European Commission presented a veto under the EU Merger Regulation. Reason: The number of major express and parcel services would after the takeover in 15 of the then 27 EU Member States in only three or two providers. Thus there would be, according to the EU Commission to little competition.
In April, UPS complained against this decision. According to company spokeswoman Peggy Gardner of the parcel sought to ensure in this way that no precedent would be created, the influencing future acquisitions. The goal is to take over TNT Express, UPS, however, had given up his own words.
As previously agreed by contract, UPS paid because of the failure of the acquisition compensation of 200 million euros at TNT Express. The financial compensation was included in the TNT Quarterly Report 1 /2013.
