Netwerk VSP to discontinue addressed mail
Netwerk VSP, part of PostNL, has decided to discontinue its activities on the addressed mail market as of 17 December
2011. The current mail market and the economic circumstances offer insufficient perspective to continue these activities
profitably in the longer term.
A social plan has been agreed with the works council to assist the employees of Netwerk VSP Geadresseerd, based on the
principle of guiding these employees from work to work.
The discontinuation of addressed mail delivery will have no consequences for Netwerk VSP's activities in the area of door to
door mail delivery of print advertising.
Since 2006, through its subsidiary Netwerk VSP Geadresseerd BV., Netwerk VSP has been providing weekly delivery of
addressed mail throughout the Netherlands for business customers.
