The international next-day delivery service provided by the express industry facilitates the trade which is vital for companies in winning and maintaining businesses in today’s increasingly competitive global economy.

Simultaneously, express industry operations have evolved from dealing solely in document and parcel delivery into the realm of specialist items such as high-tech products, semiconductors, and general airfreight commodities.
This has allowed the express industry not only to connect with firms in an increased number of regions, but also with those covering an increasingly diverse number of sectors.
Such success and growth is largely down to the ability of the express industry to provide a level of rapid, guaranteed international delivery service that is simply not achievable for transport operators on their own. This service enables companies in all regions of the world to win business and compete effectively in an increasingly global market.
