Siemens wins USD 245M contract from US Postal Service
Siemens AG said Tuesday it has been awarded a USD 245 million contract from the U.S. Postal Service for 550 mail sorting systems.
The new system, called the Advanced Facer Canceller Systems 200, will replace the Postal Service’s existing mail sorters, which have been used for almost 20 years to cancel first-class mail.
Siemens said the new system responds to the decline in first-class mail in recent years by allowing the Postal Service to improve performance while reducing the total number of machines.
Production and installation of the mail sorting systems is expected to be completed by March 2011. The contract also includes the delivery of ancillary equipment, spare parts, training and support services.
