Kuryenet has acquired a Vantage Sorting Solution, which does high speed, high volume sorting, and a Reliant Sorting Solution, which handles lower volumes.

The machines are expected to be installed in September or October.

Kuryenet is a private courier company that specialises in delivering credit cards on behalf of banks.

Pitney Bowes export director Stephane Paris told drupa report daily that Kuryenet currently sorts all credit cards by hand.

He said the Vantage and Reliant would make the process faster and more secure.

The deal was organised by ?Pitney Bowes’ Turkish dealer, Gönpa, after 18 months of negotiation, according to Paris.

He said Pitney Bowes had been averaging about €385,000 per year of sales in Turkey – making the return for 2012 at least double.

Pitney Bowes regards Turkey as the emerging market with the third greatest potential after Poland and Russia, Paris said, and expects to conduct more and more business there.

Pitney Bowes operates in 130 countries and has been partnered with Gönpa for 30 years.
