  • Deutsche Post augmente son CA de moitié et double son bénéfice
    L’an 2000 a été un grand cru pour Deutsche Post World Net (DPWN), à telle enseigne que le CEO Klaus Zumwinkel considère tout bonnement l’exercice 2000 comme la meilleure année de l’histoire du groupe. Le chiffre d’affaires a augmenté de 46% à 32,7 milliards d’EUR, le bénéfice brut de 158% à 2,38 mia. d’EUR. Fait marquant: le courrier traditionnel ne livre plus l’essentiel du chiffre d’affaires, dont la plus grande partie est générée hors d’Allemagne.
  • Dachser (Allemagne) et Nexia (France) s’allient dans les transports frigorifiques
    Le groupe Dachser et la société française Nexia viennent de signer à Paris un accord présenté comme la première étape d’un réseau européen de transport routier sous température dirigée (froid). Il s’agit de l’héritage d’initiatives lancées dès 1999 par Dachser et Exel Froid France. Dans la corbeille de mariage, le groupe allemand apporte notamment ses 28 plates-formes de transport-logistique, tandis que le partenaire français en apporte 26. Le mode d’exploitation devrait être innovant: sur certaines liaisons les mêmes moyens de traction seront utilisés pour les marchandises sous température dirigée et pour celles relevant de la messagerie routière “sèche”.
  • Dentressangle affiche des résultats 2000 meilleurs que prévu
    Avec des résultats en croissance significative, une bonne rentabilité dans les transports malgré la hausse du diesel et les 35 heures, et des perspectives favorables pour 2001, le groupe français Norbert Dentressangle a tout lieu de se montrer satisfait. Il vient de publier ses résultats financiers annuels, qui lui donnent les moyens de poursuivre son expansion. Pour cette année, le groupe affiche un même optimisme, entre autres grâce à l’obtention de nouveaux contrats.
  • Géodis dans le rouge en 2000
    Le groupe français Géodis doit encore présenter ses résultats financiers pour 2000 à l’assemblée générale qui aura lieu en mai, mais il vient de les publier en résumé. “Les résultats sont en net retrait par rapport à 1999”, dit le groupe dans un communiqué. Un euphémisme pour dire que l’exercice s’est soldé par des chiffres rouges. En effet, alors que le chiffre d’affaires progressait de 8,5% à 3,41 milliards d’EUR, le résultat net passait d’un bénéfice de 18,6 millions d’EUR en 1999 à une perte de 26,9 mio. d’EUR l’année passée. Le résultat d’exploitation, par contre, a été positif. Avec 20,3 mio. d’EUR, il s’inscrit cependant en retrait de près de 65% par rapport aux 57 mio. d’EUR en 1999.
