Le groupe Heppner déficitaire en 1998, malgré une hausse de 8% du CA Le groupe français de messagerie et de logistique Heppner a enregistré des pertes l'année passée. Le résultat net s'est inscrit en négatif, à -6,5 mio. de FRF (990.000 EUR).

La hausse du chiffre d'affaires indique néanmoins une poursuite du développement de l'entreprise.

Dans ce dernier cas, le chiffre d'affaires global s'élève à 5,768 mia. de BEF (143 mio. d'EUR). C'est ce qui ressort des chiffres de CASS Belgium & Luxemburg.
