KUALA LUMPUR (20th Oct) : TNT Express Worldwide (M) Sdn Bhd (TNT Malaysia) is confident its volume and revenue will continue to grow at a double-digit rate this year as it continues to offer reliable and innovative services and explores more business opportunities through partnerships. Its newly appointed managing director S.C. Chong said the Dutch express delivery company has seen its volume and revenue in Malaysia grew by more than 40% last year despite the tough economic conditions.

For the past five years, we have been growing at a double-digit rate and our key success is our strength in offering reliable, quality and innovative services to customers, Chong told reporters after announcing a strategic alliance with Mail Boxes Etc (MBE) Malaysia yesterday.

Of course, being an European company with a global presence, our business focus to a certain extent will be much dependent on the European countries' performance. In general, if you compared the market this year against zoio, no doubt, the volume has slowed down. Still, we are looking at a double-digit growth, he said.

TNT Malaysia's strategic partnership with MBE will also fuel its growth in the future.

Our business model has been relying on small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia. While the worldwide economy has affected the performance of multinational companies (MNCs) at large, we are still seeing dynamism from SMEs. That's why we are working with MBE because they are the best choice of SMEs and small office/home office (SOHO)," Chong added.
