Posti to buy 3 new sorting machines

The national postal and logistic services operator Posti has signed a sourcing contract on three new sorting machines that will sort print products faster, more precisely and diversely than before.

The plan is to place the new sorting machines in Oulu and Helsinki, said an official press release.

“Oulu and Helsinki are the first options when planning the location of the machines because they are important hubs of item flows,” said Posti’s Director of Postal Services Production Sami Reponen.

In addition to Oulu and Helsinki, mechanical sorting of print mail will continue in Kuopio and Tampere.

The new machines will complement Posti’s network of mechanical sorting that currently includes six similar machines. The existing and coming machines can cover the entire sorting network of Finland and operate as efficiently as possible in exceptional circumstances, too.
