Pitney Bowes opens global mail facility in UK

Pitney Bowes has opened an international mail services facility in the UK.

Located in Hayes, the facility has the daily capacity to process 27 tonnes of mail, marketing material, publications and parcels.

The 34,000ft2 centre will initially employ approximately 55 people.

John Ward, president of mail services at Pitney Bowes, says: 'Our new facility in the United Kingdom will offer opportunities for mailers to increase the effectiveness of their mailings while reducing postage costs.

'In addition, the close proximity of our Hayes site to London's Heathrow airport will enable Pitney Bowes to help expedite customers' mailings around the world.

The Hayes facility is equipped with Pitney Bowes' international mail and package systems, including the company's Postal Direct service.

The service enables organisations to communicate with current and potential customers, subscribers, members or donors in a manner that is visually and culturally familiar.

Pitney Bowes works directly with local postal authorities so that mail will look and feel as if it were produced in the country of destination.

This includes ensuring that the size, addressing, sorting and preparation of mail pieces comply with the destination country's postal standards and regulations.

Postal Direct can also provide a local return address for mailers who lack one, and a response handler to route transactions or replies as designated.
