Press Release April 18th 2007
Jetpak has established a cooperation with the German express company time:matters in order to meet a growing market demand for fast and reliable express delivery services to destinations throughout Europe. time:matters is dominating Germany and major parts of the European continent with its prime express service, based upon high frequency of flights and express vehicle distribution.
- We started Jetpak in Finland last August, established new services into Estonia recently and now we feel ready to take on the European continent. The business relations between the Nordics and the rest of Europe is indeed growing, and there is a great need for rapid handling of important shipments and other urgent matters between the two market places, says Christer Blomqvist, head of Business Support at Jetpak Group AB.
- There are not many actors on the market, if any, that will be able to supply this high quality, same-day-express delivery, which we now introduce. As an example, an urgent spare part shipment from the northern parts of Norway or Sweden will now be delivered in Rome, Milan or Vienna the very same day. We’re starting up with Scandinavia and will shortly include Finland, Mr Blomqvist is adding.
The cooperation between Jetpak and time:matters will give the Nordic industry a unique opportunity to reach the European market place much faster and reliable and thereby more or less reducing the geographical distance.
