Under the contract, TNT will be responsible for MMGF's vehicle off the road (VOR) deliveries, emergency orders and stock distribution requirements into the GCC, Levant and Egypt via its Middle East Road Network (MERN).
"TNT was selected for its high service levels and its excellent 'Day Definite' road network," said Yasunori Koyanagi, Manager, MMGF.
