German overnight express specialist Night Star Express has strengthened its position in theEuropean market with new partnerships in 2012.
Over the last few years, Night Star Express has established its brand in the German overnightsector, specialising in After Sales logistics. The company has also built a network of Europeanpartners which enables the company to expand into the international market.
This year, Night Star Express has won three European network partners, starting in March withStar Express Hellmann B.V. in the Netherlands and Night Star Express S.A. in Belgium. Night StarExpress Schweiz AG in Switzerland joined the network several months later.
The partners operating under the common name Night Star Express aim to benefit from NightStar’s brand image and to gain market shares in the European international sector, since, thecompany reports, the international business is growing significantly stronger than the domesticbusiness.
“All our European network partners benefit from the established high level of trust in theNight Star Express brand and, at the same time, our network receives a boost through the newlygained presence in relevant markets,” commented Matthias Hohmann, managing director of Night StarExpress Germany. “Even though the last months have been used to transfer the new partners intoNight Star Express, we are more than content with the integration process into the European networkat the end of 2012. We are already well-positioned in BeNeLux, Switzerland, Austria and Denmark. Weare consistently seeing double-digit customer and volume growth.”
Giovanni Iorio, head of Night Star Express Schweiz AG, commented: “We are very happy that wehave found a major partner with an established brand for the international expansion of ourovernight express operations.”
With this latest international network expansion, Night Star Express has an optimisticoutlook for 2013. “We expect further success in the Central Europe market which has a large growthpotential,” said Hohmann. “Guaranteed international services with a focus on reliability arebecoming increasingly important – therefore, Night Star Express benefits the involved parties withits strong brand name.”
