 WORLD COURIER’S WHOLLY-OWNED NETWORK EXPANDS TO 50 COUNTRIES

 

 

STAMFORD, Connecticut, April 25, 2006—With the recent opening of a new office in Ljubljana (Slovenia), World Courier is pleased to announce that its company-owned network has now expanded to 50 countries worldwide. World Courier continues to set the standard for the specialty transportation industry with company offices in 137 locations and corporate representation in over 600 cities around the globe.

 

“The opening of offices in locations like Ljubljana (Slovenia), Timisoara (Romania) and Varna (Bulgaria) is part of a continued trend to keep ahead of our clients’ needs and meet the increasing demand for our specialist services in all parts of the world,” says Wayne Heyland, President and CEO of World Courier Group.

 

“As much as we use technology to improve our productivity, enhance our quality control capabilities and enrich global communications between offices and customers, there is no substitute for trained and experienced personnel on the ground. We owe it to our customers to use local expertise whenever possible to support their businesses, particularly in emerging markets where the infrastructure is not fully developed. Having our own people throughout the world gives us the real-time resources to respond immediately to a client’s needs.”

 

Incorporated in 1969, World Courier has set the benchmark for worldwide time-sensitive transportation. It remains the only specialist courier company with its own global network dedicated to treating every shipment on an individual, priority basis. Today, World Courier is the acknowledged leader in delivering customized solutions and value-added services in growth markets such as the bio-medical, automotive and high-tech industries. Headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, World Courier maintains a comprehensive network which now numbers137 company-owned ISO 9001-certified offices operating in 50 countries worldwide.
