Thanks to this agreement, TNT Express will enhance its network, coverage and capacity in Sub-Saharan Africa. Getma brings more than twenty years of experience of African markets. Its network covers the whole Atlantic coastline between Mauritania and South Africa, as well as countries without seaports such as Mali and Chad. TNT’s customers will benefit from improved customs management and transit times for their exports or imports to and from Sub-Saharan Africa. As an example, TNT Express can now guarantee a delivery from Paris to Bamako within 48 hours.
According to the World Bank, sub-Saharan African countries have experienced an average economic growth of 4.6% between 2000 and 2009. The first trading partner of Sub-Saharan African countries is Europe, followed by Asia (particularly China). Express delivery services to/from the region are used by industries such as oil and gas, automotive, industrial and mining.
