POSTAL COMPETITION CONTINUES IN PIRKANMAA AND SATAKUNTA

PISA Jakelu Oy to start postal delivery in the autumn

Posti announced last summer that it would buy Alma Manu’s early delivery business in Pirkanmaa and Satakunta. Alma Manu will continue distributing Jakeluyhtiö Suomen products until September this year, after which the cooperation will end.

However, for Jakeluyhtiö Suomi, the only competitor to Posti in the market for addressed letters and magazines, Pirkanmaa and Satakunta are so significant areas that the continuity of delivery in the area had to be ensured.

“It is extremely important for our customers that there is an alternative to Posti in as large a part of Finland as possible,” says Jakeluyhtiö Suomi’s CEO Marko Toivari.

As a result, the owners of Jakeluyhtiö Suomi have founded a new delivery company, PISA Jakelu Oy, in the Pirkanmaa and Satakunta area, which will join Jakeluyhtiö Suomi’s network as a new postal company. “It’s great that our owners are committed to long-term postal competition. With this solution, we can continue to offer our customers the alternative they demand in Pirkanmaa and Satakunta as well,” Toivari continues.

PISA Jakelu Oy is currently planning the delivery areas and routes in more detail. Recruitment for expert and supervisory positions is underway. By the end of the year, approximately 50–60 postal workers will be hired for the area. The delivery is intended to start gradually from August-September.
