Pitney Bowes buys SkyMail sort center

Shipping and mailing giant Pitney Bowes has acquired the presort center of Skymail International, a full-service print and mail house based in Salt Lake City. Based in Stamford, Connecticut, Pitney Bowes Presort Services said the Skymail facility will be part of a regional mail exchange anchored by the company’s first Presort Services Mega Center, which opened in Las Vegas earlier this year.{mprestriction ids="1,3"}

The acquisition, which closed on Oct. 9, is expected to add more than 100 million first-class mail pieces annually to the Pitney Bowes Presort Services Network and will make drop-offs and pick-ups easier for several existing Pitney Bowes clients, the company said. Skymail will continue to operate its printing, mail inserting and international mailing businesses and becomes a new client of Pitney Bowes for presort services.

“Pitney Bowes is always looking for better ways to serve our clients and improve the performance of our national Presort Services network through both innovation and strategic expansion,” said Debbie Pfeiffer, president of Pitney Bowes Presort Services. “The addition of a Presort Services operating center in the Salt Lake City Valley, which will connect seamlessly to our Las Vegas Mega Center, will make our Northwest mail exchange more resilient and more convenient for new and existing clients.”{/mprestriction}
