The World Postal Union currently numbers around 5.5 million members, processing some 439 billion letters annually - that equals 67 letters for every person on Earth.
 
For decades, companies have been using the advantages of franking machines.
Francotyp-Postalia has many years of experience operating in this market and is excellently positioned:

• We have around 265,000 installed franking machines, giving us a world market share of 9%.
• In Germany, we are the franking machine specialist, with a market share of around 45% making us clear market leader.
• Our company is one of the top three suppliers in the major markets USA, Great Britain and the Netherlands.

While the franking machine market is very stable, there are great opportunities for new growth following the increasing liberalisation of the mail markets. Germany is a trail blazer here, having completed the liberalisation of its mail market in January 2008.
 
As a solutions provider, the FP Group is in an ideal position to profit from this change, offering its customers consolidation of outgoing mail, outsourcing and hybrid mail services.
