Francotyp-Postalia at POST-EXPO 2011 in Stuttgart:

The first multi-channel provider presents new possibilities for mail communications

Birkenwerder, 27 September 2011. The FP Group, the first multi-channel provider for mail communication, will be presenting its complete product range at POST-EXPO 2011 from 27 to 29 September in Stuttgart. The trade fair is a world-leading event for the international post, express delivery and mail order sector. 'Our appearance in Stuttgart shows that we are the experts for professional mail communication and offer customised solutions to our clients', explained Andreas Drechsler from the Management Board of the FP Group.

The company is a full service provider for mail communication. The company was launched more than 85 years ago as a manufacturer of franking and inserting systems. In recent years, the portfolio has been systematically expanded: The FP subsidiary, internet access GmbH (iab), is a specialist for software solutions for hybrid mail dispatch and freesort GmbH an important mail consolidation company in Germany. By purchasing the majority of shares in Mentana-Claimsoft AG at the start of 2011, the company acquired a future De-Mail provider.

The highlight of this year's trade fair stand will be electronic communications such as webpost, the international variant of the hybrid mail products from the FP Group, and De-Mail. Starting next year, De-Mail will enable citizens and official authorities and groups to share legally valid electronic documents online both safely and confidentially. The FP Group intends to offer this new service to its customers right from the very beginning, thus consolidating its position in the area of digital mail communication.

Greater use of the Internet coupled with technological progress are opening up new communication possibilities and driving the convergence of digital and physical communication. 'Our company is one of the pioneers of mail communications and can offer all channels, physical, hybrid and fully electronic. This makes us the first multi-channel-provider', commented Drechsler.

The FP Group is presenting all of its products and services for POST-EXPO visitors at Stand 6022.
