DMC takes over AWZ's delivery business
Direct Mail Company (DMC), which has been wholly owned by Swiss Post since early 2012, will take over the AWZ Group’s delivery operations effective March 1, 2012. The AWZ Group will cease its delivery operations as of that date for commercial reasons.
AWZ, headquartered in Bern, offers products and services in the field of direct marketing together with its subsidiary ADZ. Due to the economic situation and the market outlook, the Board of Directors of AWZ has decided to discontinue its delivery operations as of March 1, 2012, according to a statement issued on Friday. AWZ's delivery business will be taken over by Direct Mail Company.
Together with its subsidiary ADZ, AWZ operates in the Bern, Aargau/Solothurn, Zug and Ticino regions. The company as a whole employs around 1,500 people in delivery, most of whom work between 10 and 20 percent. Thanks to the takeover, these employees can continue to be employed by Direct Mail. Existing orders from AWZ customers will be carried out by Direct Mail Company from March 1, 2012.
