Post Business Solutions, a subsidiary of Austrian Post, has invested €5m (US$5.25m) in new printing and inserting machines for transactional printing, enabling it to print up to 85 million A4 pages for medium-sized and large businesses every month.
More than 500 customers in Austria – primarily banks, insurance companies and energy providers – will benefit from the new Canon ColorStream 8160 state-of-the-art printing machine, which offers digital color printing and inkjet roll-to-roll printing to achieve twice the print resolution of conventional machines.
With double-sided printing, the new machine can produce more than 2,150 pages per minute at high speed and, together with three new inserting machines from Böwe Systec Austria, will increase capacity to handle peak loads during the high season.
Modern machinery
George Wallner, managing director of Post Business Solutions, commented, “Our investment in these first-class machines underpins our strategy toward innovation and efficiency: with these new acquisitions, we are operating the most modern machine park in Austria. The ISO certificates 9001, 14001 and 27001 and the Ecolabel confirm our claim to play in the best league and deliver top performance. We offer our top-class customers, who are primarily from the financial and insurance sectors as well as the energy industry, a first-class service and can provide them with even faster service for change requests. This keeps us one step ahead of the competition.”
Range of solutions
Transactional printing processes large volumes of documents. Customers who regularly print smaller volumes can use the EinfachBrief web service, which takes care of printing, enveloping and dispatch by the post office, replacing the floor printer.
Those who want to create electronic correspondence from a physical letter can use dual delivery (e-letter).
Post Business Solutions also offers numerous digital solutions for business customers, including the e-pay slip, the hybridSign digital signature and the recently launched intelligent document processing platform DAiTA, which uses AI to automate data and document management.
“With our services, we are building a bridge between the online and offline worlds,” Wallner concluded.
