en.Wedoany.com Reported - Swiss Post has officially begun construction of a new regional parcel center in Frauenfeld, with a total project investment of CHF 200 million, expected to create approximately 220 new jobs.

With this investment, the delivery provider aims to strengthen its important logistics hub in the canton of Thurgau over the long term. Swiss Post stated that the new regional parcel center will help it continue to reliably deliver the growing volume of parcels to customers in Eastern Switzerland and across the country. Johannes Cramer, Head of Logistics Services at Swiss Post, said at the groundbreaking ceremony that this investment reflects the company's long-term commitment to the region and its ongoing investment in its core logistics business.

Swiss Post has acquired the land for the new center under a building rights agreement. Due to the geographical proximity of the existing national parcel center and the new regional center, the two facilities will leverage synergies in the future. The Frauenfeld parcel center is already connected to the rail network, and both centers will benefit from this in the future. Swiss Post primarily transports internal parcels between its major parcel centers across Switzerland by rail.

The Frauenfeld regional center is expected to sort up to 12,000 parcels per hour, with its conveyor belts planned to be fully operational by Christmas 2029. Swiss Post plans to renovate and modernize its national parcel centers in Härkingen (Canton of Solothurn), Daillens (Canton of Vaud), and Frauenfeld (Canton of Thurgau) over the next 10 to 15 years, as these centers are more than 25 years old. The new sorting center will partially replace the functions of the existing Frauenfeld parcel center during its renovation and will enhance its capacity after completion.

Customers can track their parcels in real time using the Swiss Post app. Customers will receive a notification the day before the planned delivery, informing them of the delivery date and providing a 2 to 4-hour time window. On the day of delivery, the system will further provide a precise time window of 40 to 90 minutes. Customers will also be notified in the event of significant delivery delays; shortly before delivery, the recipient will receive a link to track the parcel in real time.
