(Axel Spoerl)

"City Express", a courier company, will soon celebrate the 2nd anniversary since it became the property of "Austrian Post".

On that occasion, Axel Spoerl, the Director of the Austrian Post group for Southeastern Europe, said: "A lot of things have changed in the Austrian Post over the past 15 years: the company had been transformed from a state company into a modern logistic company."

- Our values are reliability, professionalism, trust and quality. Those values had been instrumental in our success: for our clients, our mother company and our sister companies in CEE. Teamwork, readiness and openness to change have paid off. Today, in the times of the economic crisis, stable workplace in an economically stable company and healthy environment contributes to a greater quality of life - said he and added that the companies in the Southeastern Europe, which are owned by the Austrian Post, were also going through changes.

- None of those companies are working today the same way as they used to do before the takeover. Our parcel and logistics companies in other CEE countries are leaders in the logistic industry market. "City Express" is a market leader as well and is well on the way to become a leader in other core disciplines: Technology, cost management and skilled personnel. The implementation of a new IT system at "City Express" has shown that the path of change is the way to success: What was viewed critically in the beginning has turned out to be a strong contribution to stabilize and strengthen the organisation by bringing operational transparency and many new features for our customers - said Spoerl.

As he explained, "Austrian Post" with its experience and technology, customers who are actively following and cooperating, the great responsibility and loyalty, will help "City Express" to boost the express market and contribute to a positive trend in the Serbian economy.

- If we continue on this road “hand in hand”, we shall jointly enjoy the fruits of our success: growth, profit, and stable, modern workplaces - Spoerl concluded.
