Nils Planzer, CEO and majority shareholder of logistics company Planzer, recently made the shocking decision to acquire struggling competitors Quickpac and Quickmail. Despite initial reservations, he saw the opportunity to keep 4,000 jobs in the industry and compete against Swiss Post.
The logistics industry is highly competitive, and every move must be carefully considered to ensure profitability. Planzer has only been in the parcel delivery business since 2018 and is still working towards making it profitable. The acquisition of Quickpac and Quickmail presents a new challenge for the company.
Planzer also operates warehouse logistics, where they handle sorting, repackaging, and distribution for various companies. This segment significantly contributes to the company’s revenue and has great growth potential. Planzer emphasizes the importance of maintaining a strong local presence and personal touch in all their operations.
In addition to parcel delivery, Planzer has also ventured into letter delivery through the acquisition of Quickmail. Although it is a new area for the company, they are optimistic about its growth potential and profitability. The recent acquisitions were made at an opportune time, allowing Planzer to take advantage of synergies and streamline operations.
Despite challenges from some employees, Nils Planzer remains focused on creating a positive work environment and maintaining a strong reputation as an employer. For him, success lies in employee satisfaction and providing high-quality services to clients. With a legacy spanning three generations, Planzer is committed to continued growth and success in the competitive logistics industry.
