The joint venture of Norway Post’s and Itella’s information logistics services started the 2nd of June. Competition authorities have approved the deal and the joint venture has officially started. Itella owns 51 percent and Norway Post 49 percent of Itella Information AS.  Per Olov Sjøgren started as the Managing Director of the joint venture.

- By combining the experience of two strong operators in the field of information logistics we will become the leading player in Norway.  Itella Information’s skills and services both in paper and electronic information flows are crucial when offering the best solutions to our Norwegian customers, says Managing Director Per Olov Sjøgren.

The aim of the joint venture is to make Itella Information AS into the leading information logistics company in Norway. Itella Information provides services for the processing, management and delivery of information flows. Norway Post’s current operations relating to information logistics are all transferred to the joint venture.

- This is the next step in the execution of Itella Information’s strategy in Europe. In May we started our operations in Poland. Itella Information operates now in nine countries, says Heikki Länsisyrjä, Senior Vice President, Itella Group.
