Panalpina: "The overall visibility for 2010 remains low. However, Panalpina believes in a moderate recovery of both the air freight and ocean freight markets with mid single-digit growth rates. In order to strengthen the company's competitiveness, we shall put a lot of focus on growing profitably and to continue to tightly manage our cost base and cash generation. In the future, we also commit ourselves to better balance profitability versus pure volume gains," Monika Ribar, CEO. Source: Panalpina, 11-Mar-2010.
