French post office opens Europe’s largest sorting office
Jean-Paul Bailly, the chairman of the French post office, La Poste, yesterday opened the organisation’s new mail-sorting office in northern Paris. The new facility is the biggest of its kind in Europe, capable of processing 5 million items a day from eight of the French capital’s 20 arrondissements. La Poste’s mail director, Christian Kozar, has stressed that no other sorting office will close as a result of new centre’s launch. Its aim, he said, is next-day delivery for nine out of 10 letters by 2010.
