Austrian Post: more than one million parcels will be processed via 24/7 locations in Carinthia

Österreichische Post AG is significantly expanding its 24/7 parcel collection locations in Carinthia.

In the next few weeks alone, new post offices will be built at 13 locations, bringing the number in the state to around 90. Austrian Post expects that in 2025 more than one million parcels will be processed via 24/7 locations in Carinthia for the first time. This means that each Carinthian will pick up or send an average of two parcels in this way.

The 24/7 expansion was announced at the opening of the latest post office at the headquarters of Infineon Austria in Villach.

Walter Oblin, CEO of Österreichische Post AG: “Our claim is that Carinthians can receive their online orders at any time and at a desired location. A successful example of our 24/7 expansion is the new post office at Infineon, through which around 4,900 employees and surrounding households can pick up their parcels around the clock. All parties involved benefit from a cooperation like the one with Infineon, namely companies, employees and Austrian Post.”

Sabine Herlitschka, Chief Executive Officer, Infineon Technologies Austria AG: “As one of the largest employers in Carinthia, it is particularly important to us to offer our employees the best possible support in everyday life. With the new post office, we are creating an additional service that not only saves long distances, but also simplifies daily logistics. We are pleased to offer this practical service together with Austrian Post and thus make another small contribution to the quality of life of our workforce and our residents in Villach.”

Harald Sobe, City Councillor, Villach: “The City of Villach, Österreichische Post AG and Infineon Technologies Austria AG have always worked together on the best of terms. Villach is a modern city, and we very much welcome the expansion of the new post offices. For Villach, it is important that the network of locations is further expanded and that the existing post offices are maintained.”
