This paper describes the way physical distribution structures are developing as a result of recent trends in global logistics. We conclude that multinational corporations still use the traditional distribution structures to a large extent, although the motives to use a specific type of distribution structure have changed. Advanced logistics structures give logistics managers new opportunities to achieve a higher performance in the distribution needed. Consequently, multinational corporations can use a growing set of supply chain concepts. Physical distribution structures become differentiated more and more as a result.
