Posted by | Jan 31, 2006 | |

Pitney Bowes Inc. today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Emtex Ltd. for approximately USD41 million. Emtex’s software and services allow large-volume mailers to simplify document production and centrally manage complex multi-vendor and multi-site print operations. Upon completion of this transaction, Emtex will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pitney Bowes within its Document Messaging Technologies division. Subject to regulatory approval and completion of other customary conditions, the transaction is expected to close in the first calendar quarter of 2006. This acquisition is part of the company’s strategic framework for growth, according to Michael J. Critelli, Chairman and CEO of Pitney Bowes. “We are successfully growing our mailstream presence by continuing to add value for our customers. Emtex helps us fill a critical gap between document creation and mail finishing operations in large production mail environments.”

Posted by | Dec 7, 2005 | |

Pitney Bowes Inc. launched a new strategic business plan yesterday designed to tap into a USD250 billion market opportunity within a USD900 billion global category called the mailstream.

Mailstream content includes direct marketing collateral, bills and monthly statements, catalogs, parcels, letters, invoices, magazines, DVD rentals and anything sold and purchased through eBay. Pitney Bowes begins the direct mail part of the campaign next month targeting its existing high-end customer base.

Pitney Bowes delivers . . . showing Royal Mail the route

Posted by | Dec 4, 2005 | |

Even Sir George Bains review of the Royal Mail seems to have got lost in the post. Widely tipped to come at the end of November, the Department of Trade and Industry says the former head of the London Business School will now not reveal his views on the future of the Royal Mail. Delivery is everything and the Government-sponsored research will, however, begin to surface in various policies just as the Royal Mail faces the toughest challenge in its 345-year history. On 1 January it loses its monopoly as part of cross-European liberalisation which will open the market to full competition. Firms such as Pitney Bowes, with a market value of USD9.62bn (GBP5.56bn, E8.20bn), will be looking for more opportunities in the British market along with Frances Neopost, and Francotyp-Postalia of Germany. Pitney Bowes is a good example of an old-fashioned company that has transformed its business to capitalise on the diverse ways we receive our messages. It is more commonly associated with inventing the franking machine and has now diversified into data management, electronic billing and commercial printing.
