The Swiss family firm Planzer is acquiring Quickpac and Quickmail, thereby creating an exciting, sustainable force in the Swiss parcel and partially privatised letter market.

Wettbewerbskommission verbietet Übernahme der Quickmail Holding AG durch die Schweizerische Post AG

The Competition Commission (COMCO) will conduct an in-depth review of the proposed merger between Swiss Post and Quickmail.

Swiss Post plans to acquire the Swiss logistics companies Quickmail and Quickpac. The two com-panies can no longer survive independently, due in particular to continuously declining letter vol-umes and intense competition in the parcel market. They have been searching actively for pur-chasers. The acquisition will enable Swiss Post to ensure continued services for customers, to lev-erage existing synergies and to make better use of its own logistics capacities. The acquisition is planned to take place as promptly as possible, but it must first be approved by the Competition Commission (COMCO).

Sustainable returns have never been easier: Quickpac is launching the Quickpic low-emission returns service after a two-month pilot phase. Quickpac quietly picks up returns from your home by electric car and transports them back to the online retailer. Quickpac is the first parcel service to offer shipments 100% with electric cars in both directions, whilst ensuring maximum convenience for customers.
