GEOPOST YURTİÇİ KARGO INC.

GeoPost Yurtiçi Kargo, established as a joint venture between GeoPost (51% of shares) - a subsidiary of France's La Poste and one of Europe's major express and parcel shipment groups - and Yurtiçi Kargo (49% of shares) - wich is within the body of Arıkanlı Holding - provides international air and road parcel trasportation services. Yurtiçi Kargo, expert of finding solutions between distances for 22 years, took a big step with the partnership with GeoPost, extending the success of its unremitting leadership in national deliveries to the international markets.

GeoPost Yurtiçi Kargo has created a significant synergy with the agreement signed on 11 November, 2003, and conveyed this synergy to its customers as time and flexibility, as well as a cost advantage. The company has gained the exclusive rights of DPD and Chronopost, which operate under GeoPost, but have different service alternatives. The agreement stipulates that the company can use these brands in Turkey and their distribution network abroad. Yurtiçi Kargo operates as a privileged sub-service supplier of this new partnership.

With this joint venture, Yurtiçi Kargo has gained important benefits not only towards its international goals, but towards the Turkish market, as well. Chronopost International's air express parcel service and DPD's air and road parcel services can now be offered to all customers. GeoPost Yurtiçi can meet different product and service demands of customers under a single umbrella with its high quality service level. It is soon expected to reach a 10% of international parcel market share in Turkey.

As the regional office of the Balkans, CIS and Middle East Cluster, GeoPost Yurtiçi has the mission to expand its services across the neighboring countries. Bulgaria, Romania, Greece, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Syria and Iran are only some of the current projects. In 2004, GeoPost Yurtiçi has successfully signed new agreements with market leaders in Bulgaria, Romania and Greece. The target is to have an extensive market share among other international parcel operators.
