Posta Romana to close all its postal offices, not before modernising them
<p>The Romanian national postal company Posta Romana will close all its post offices "in the coming years" and rent them out, announced the company's general manager, Valentin Ștefan, quoted by <a href="https://www.economica.net/posta-romana-vrea-sa-inchida-toate-oficiile-postale-nu-sunt-profitabile-si-nu-au-niciun-viitor-directorul-general_788749.html?mc_cid=b9c3303992&amp;mc_eid=cd1f92f96c" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Economica.net</a>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The only reason for not closing the offices overnight is the social protection of the employees, he explained.</p>

<p>"We're going to shut them down, downsize, rent out space, make more money from renting than from selling stamps, and turn the company into a modern company," explained the company's manager – with a broad experience rather in fraud prevention than corporate management.</p>

<p>Earlier in September, the company carried out a tender to purchase 2,000 all-in-one stations to modernise its offices. The investment is aimed at "delivering better services for all Romanians who arrive at its post offices from the country."</p>

<p>"The modernization of the postal network with state-of-the-art computer technology is part of the investment program of the National Company Posta Romana," the company said at that time.</p>

<p>Posta Romana is the largest local postal operator, with over 24,000 employees and an extended territorial network.&nbsp;</p>
