Postea was founded in 2007 by industry veterans Michael J. Murphy and Elmar Toime. Two years later, Singapore Post, the privatized and listed postal and logistics company of Singapore, acquired a 30 per cent strategic stake in the company. All investors continue to play a significant role in shaping the company's strategy and vision.
Postea invests in technologies that enable operators to better compete in the deregulated postal market. The primary goal of the company is to apply advanced research and development to the industry's business challenges to create low-cost, high-impact solutions that provide tangible improvement in the expected return per delivery point.
