Mail firm PIN Group has expanded its network in Central Germany with the acquisition of three postal delivery subsidiaries of the publishing group Ippen-Verlagsgruppe.

PIN has acquired HNA Postlogistik in Kassel, part of the Ippen-owned local newspaper “ Hessische/ Niedersächsische Allgemeine”. Founded in 2002, HNA Postlogistik delivers all over North Hessen. PIN has also acquired a separate Ippen-owned postal firm in nearby Bad Hersfeld.

In Westphalia, PIN has bought PSW Post Service Westfalen from the Ippen-owned Westfälischen Anzeiger newspaper group. Based in Hamm, PSW delivers in the surrounding region, including Hamm, Unna, Soest and Lippstadt.

“With the acquisition of the postal businesses of the Ippen-Verlagsgruppe in Hamm, Kassel and Bad Hersfeld we are strengthening our activities in Hessen and North Rhine-Westphalia,” said Günter Thiel, PIN Group chief executive.
