Finland Post Corporation's scheduled delivery network expanded during the spring to take in the Baltic region. The new international freight delivery service will cover not only Sweden, Norway and Denmark but also from 1 May Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland.

"The company can now better provide companies that are expanding their own area of operations with a comprehensive service network for controlling information and materials flows," says business director Juha Koskinen.

The new service will make it possible to send packets and pallets to neighbouring regions as simply as in Finland. In the Greater Stockholm and Tallinn areas, for example, consignments will be delivered on the next working day.

"We're strengthening our market position in logistics in the Baltic Sea region. Our aim is to construct a network of logistical operating centres around the Baltic," Koskinen says.

Finland Post Corporation, which was founded way back in 1638 and converted into a public limited company in 2001, is the leading messaging and logistics company in Finland and on selected markets in the Baltic region. The company is seeking growth in corporate logistics, online communications transmission and carefully managed international operations.
