Details

To save on postage and packaging costs, the 'Messagerie de la Presse' was founded in 1885 by Mr. Louis Bertrand and his friend F. Charté. Group shipments of titles to points of sale in the same location allowed savings. From 1886 the Messagerie de la Presse were given the names 'Dechenne en Cie', 'Message de la Presse et Comptoir Général de Bruxelles', 'Agence Dechenne, Messagerie de la Presse' respectively. After the Second World War, the company is renamed 'Agence et Messageries de la presse - Press Agency, Transport and Distribution' (A.M.P. - P.V.D.). At the beginning of 1999 the company was given its current name AMP.
