Blitzkurier takes over: stronger presence in Vienna expected!

Wien, Österreich - The Viennese logistics industry is facing significant change: the direct group has taken over the traditional company Blitzkurier. This takeover, which was officially carried out on February 1 and is financed by own funds, enables both brands to act under a common roof in the future. This was announced in a message from directly, although financial Details of the takeover were not published. The Blitzkurier brand is preserved, and all 13 employees of the company are taken over by the direct group without there being significant changes for them, apart from a change of location.

according to Wirtschaftszeit The takeover is a strategic step to further increase the market presence in Vienna. The previous owner of the Blitzkurier, Wolfgang von der Borne, was forced to submit the company due to a lack of successor regulations. This happened as part of an existing cooperation relationship between the two companies that started in the 90s. Leon Mann, CEO of the directly group, emphasizes that this merger creates synergies that benefit customers in particular. In addition, the area of Botendienste is expanded and the infrastructure is to be supplemented by a pool of light trucks.

Expansion of services

For the customers of Blitzkurier, the adoption of new possibilities arises: The directly group specializes in international courier and express services, which expands the already extensive range of services from the lightning courier. Thomas Melzer, the previous CEO of Blitzkurier, is pleased with the vision of the new partnership and assures that the lightning courier is in good hands.

The requirements for the logistics industry are growing steadily, and delivery services are under pressure to adapt to the increasing customer expectations. According to MANN, the directly group will continue to attach great importance to fast and personal customer care - the company is already answering 77 % of the calls in less than five seconds. "Our team is our most important capital - we ensure continuity and at the same time create new opportunities for the future," added Mann. This realignment could give reality in Vienna's logistics new impulses and significantly improve the range of services for customers.
