1999
Three large parcel centers
Swiss Post starts operations at the parcel centers in Härkingen (SO), Daillens (VD) and Frauenfeld (TG). This is a once-in-a-lifetime logistics event in Switzerland. Swiss Post had invested some 450 million francs in cutting-edge technology and an expandable infrastructure. For the first time, parcels can now be sorted automatically right down to the parcel carriers’ individual delivery rounds – revolutionary for the time.
