Description
ABOUT THE COMPANY
Ukrposhta is the national fully state-owned postal operator, established in 1994. It has 29 branches (including 25 regional directorates) and operates more than 11,800 post offices across the country, by far the largest network in the country. With over 87 thousand employees, Ukrposhta processes and delivers to customers about 240 million postal items, 16 million parcels and insured items, 15 million orders, and more than 83 million pensions per annum. Overall, Ukrposhta offers individuals and corporate clients about 50 different services, including postal, subscription, courier, money transfer and pensions processing services, and other related services. Pensions processing and letters/parcels/periodicals delivery account for about 70% of the company’s revenue. Ukrposhta’s market share was steadily declining in recent years (from 50% in 2010 to 42% in 2013) as a result of competition from higher quality postal service offered by smaller private companies and banking system developments. Current legislation in the field of postal services mandates Ukrposhta to ensure a presence of post offices in all regions, incl. small towns and villages, thus, performing certain social functions. As Ukraine is a member of the Universal Postal Union since 1947, Ukrposhta, as a state-owned operator, is licensed to perform international shipments and is bound to comply with international guidelines of postal services.
