Swiss Post arrives at the doorstep of Spain

Swiss Post, the Swiss national postal operator, is to set up operations in Spain with the eventual aim of making the country its springboard into Latin America. The Swiss company, which is already present in the UK, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, the US and Italy, plans to use the franchise model to grow in the country. With this in mind, it has already signed a deal with ABC Mail for this company to become the master franchise of operations in Spain. ABC Mail is owned 85 per cent by the Netherlands’s Allied Business and 15 per cent by the businessman Damian Rios, who has also been appointed general manager of the Spanish subsidiary.
