  • Le bénéfice de Kühne & Nagel augmente de 32,2%, le CA de 24,3%
    L’exercice 2000 a été plus que satisfaisant pour le groupe logistique suisse Kühne & Nagel, qui a réalisé le bénéfice le plus important de son histoire l’année dernière. Lors d’une conférence de presse à Schindellegi, le président et actionnaire principal Klaus-Michael Kühne a attribué cette hausse à la bonne conjoncture mondiale et à une restructuration dynamique de l’entreprise. L’expédition internationale (fret aérien et maritime) reste le principal pilier des activités de K&N, tandis que la logistique de contrat gagne sans cesse en importance et a été bénéficiaire pour la première fois l’année dernière.
  • Concorde Container Line où l’exploitation d’une triple vocation
    Concorde Container Line, une des filiales armements de la division maritime du groupe Mersey Docks & Harbour Co. de Liverpool, s’est spécialisée ces dernières années dans l’exploitation de services intégralement containérisés entre l’Europe du Nord, plus précisément Anvers et Rotterdam, et l’Ecosse, au point de jouer un rôle de leader dans ce segment de marché. Ces services containérisés ont considérablement évolué au cours des deux dernières années, ce qui a impliqué des adaptations en matière de tonnages et le développement de trois fonctions, à savoir le transport industriel dédié, le feedering et le repositionnement de containers pour compte d’armements de ligne régulière, et les transports de porte-à-porte dans un contexte intra-européen. CCL a le vent en poupe, nous ont confirmé John J. Hie, manager de la ligne, et son agent local Eric D’Hondt, patron de la firme Antwerp Container Brokers.
  • Transport et logistique dominés par des marchés qui se globalisent
    Sous sa forme “Temps Réel”, la Semaine Internationale du Transport & de la Logistique (SITL, Paris) ouvrait ses portes le mercredi 4 avril 2001 et les fermera le vendredi . La séance inaugurale a été marquée par un débat sur le thème de l’avenir du secteur transport et logistique. Après avoir retracé brièvement les faits marquants des trente dernières années, les intervenants ont été unanimes pour souligner que les dix prochaines verront surtout: la globalisation de l’offre ainsi que de la demande; l’importance croissante des préoccupations liées à la sécurité, à la protection de l’environnement et à la politique sociale; les nouveaux rapports entre clients et fournisseurs; les NTIC (nouvelles technologies d’information et de communication).
  • L’année 2001 demarre très fort pour Chronopost
    L’ambition de Gilles Moutel, PDG de Chronopost International, filiale du groupe français La Poste, est de voir le chiffre des ventes progresser de 11 à 12% environ en 2001. Pour le moment, il n’y a que des résultats en volume, mais il vont au-delà des prévisions avec un gain de 13% sur l’ensemble des marchés et de 20% en France. D’une façon plus générale, Gilles Moutel inscrit l’action de ses équipes dans le cadre de trois priorités pour 2001: maintenir le niveau de qualité en dépit de la forte progression des trafics; se développer à l’international afin d’être partout sur l’une des trois plus hautes marches du podium européen; et miser sur les innovations afin de justifier le fait d’être globalement plus cher que la concurrence. La conjonction de ces trois facteurs doit conduire à une réédition des bons résultats qui ont marqué l’exercice 2000.
