TNT Express: Strategic Integration
TNT Express is the largest acquisition in FedEx history, and its benefits are expected to be equally significant. The addition will transform our global portfolio of solutions, particularly in Europe, substantially lower our cost to serve our European markets by increasing density in our pickup and delivery operations and accelerate our global growth.
To help us realize the value of the transaction, we’re applying our ACQUIRE process that we’ve refined over many acquisitions. It’s a cross-functional management system used to complete a transaction, integrate a new company and help us obtain the financial results we intend. Today more than 20 FedEx and TNT Express functional and geographical teams are working together to ensure a smooth integration and long-term strategic success.
