core business of the company is delivering direct mail items (advertising mail)
weighing more than 50 gr. Thus the company has established a good starting
position for the upcoming postal market liberalisation in Romania as of the year

postal company, PostMaster also delivers unaddressed direct mail items
throughout Romania. The firm has a workforce of about 100 employees as well as a
delivery staff of about 1.500 people used on a service contract basis. They
