Francotyp-Postalia increases its share in De-Mail provider
Mentana-Claimsoft
Birkenwerder, 6 November 2013. The Francotyp-Postalia Group, a
multi-channel provider for mail communications, has acquired a further
24.5% of the shares in Mentana-Claimsoft GmbH. The acquisition had no
impact on liquidity and was made as part of a mutual agreement. Approval
for this agreement was granted by the Supervisory Board today. The stake
will stand at 75.5%.
Mentana-Claimsoft, certified De-Mail provider since 2012, specialises in
electronic signatures and offers a comprehensive product range for
protecting electronic documents and legally binding communications. The
company is also a licensed provider of electronic court communication
(EGVP). In March 2011, the FP Group acquired 51% of the shares in
Mentana-Claimsoft.
'The increase of our stake is another important milestone in the
implementation of our strategy. We are the experts for physical and fully
electronic mail communication. And the importance of fully electronic
communication continues to grow,' explains Hans Szymanski, CEO and CFO of
the FP Group.
The company is thus systematically continuing the strategic expansion of
the electronic mail communications segment and strengthening its influence
on the future development of this promising business segment for the FP
Group. FP estimates the potential of the medium-term De-Mail market alone
to exceed 500 million De-Mails per year. FP is aiming for a market share of
around 10%.
'De-Mail will win through on the market in the next few years, and we are
the frontrunners in this segment,' said Szymanski. Customer approach is
focussed on businesses and public authorities. Here, FP defines the
processes with the persons responsible and supports the implementation of
the communication processes.
More and more companies and authorities are interested in De-Mail
solutions. For example, Deutsche Rentenversicherung recently began offering
its customers the option of securely transferring messages and documents in
electronic form via De-Mail. The pension insurance institution is using the
De-Mail gateway of Mentana-Claimsoft to do this.

The FP Group is the first multi-channel provider for mail communication.

solutions for business and private customers. In addition to standard
machines for franking and inserting mail, its offering includes services
such as the collection of business mail and innovative software solutions

countries and holds a global market share in franking machines of around
10%. With a history dating back 90 years, the FP Group today benefits
across all markets from the increasing liberalisation of postal markets and
