Unifiedpost Group strenghtens control over document printing and postal distribution facilities

Unifiedpost Group aims to position itself as the platform provider of choice for digitizing the B2B(2C) financial value-chain, spanning transactional document flows, supplier-client interactions, payments and more. Counterintuitive as it may seem, paper distribution (e.g., invoices, wage slips, etc.) is still very much part of the business, and expected to linger.

In April of this year, Unifiedpost raised €25 million from Participatiemaatschappij Vlaanderen (PMV) [Flanders Investment Company], the Federale Participatie- en Investeringsmaatschappij (FPIM) [Federal Investment Company], an American investment company and an international mix of private investors. The objective of this financing round is to propel Unifiedpost’s growth throughout Europe and expand its solutions portfolio. This is Unifiedpost’s third acquisition this year, only a few weeks behind the purchase of ADM Solutions and Inventive Designers.

“With the acquisition of Leleu Document Services, we improve our access to the delivery chain” says Hans Leybaert, CEO, Unifiedpost, “this will prove beneficial for specific clients that require a more fit-for-purpose fulfilment”.
