The Hasler Neopost Relationship

The Hasler & Neopost Relationship

Many of our customers have asked MMS to clarify the relationship between Neopost Inc, headquartered in Hayward CA, and Hasler Inc, headquartered in Shelton CT.

An excerpt from a letter by Patrick Nangle, Chief Operating Officer North America & Japan, with the Neopost Group is below:

"Both businesses are ultimately owned by Neopost SA, the number one manufacturer of mailing equipment in Europe and number two worldwide. Collectively we call Neopost SA and all its subsidiary companies the Neopost Group. Neopost Inc and Hasler Inc are in fact sister companies within the Neopost Group. Both are active in the USA, each with its own distribution network and offering its own brand of products and services. They share an owner and also a source of products. Mailing machines and folder/inserters are designed and manufactured for the whole of the worldwide Neopost Group distribution network by another set of Group companies, known collectively as Neopost Technology. A very simplistic view of the organizational structure (not a legal structure) can be seen below."

"To be very clear, Neopost Inc does not own Hasler Inc.  Nor conversely does Hasler Inc own Neopost Inc. Both are US-based subsidiaries of the same ultimate parent company."


How does this translate to the local Florida marketplace?

Modular Mailing Sytems is one of a select few authorized dealers in the country that are approved by the Neopost Group to offer both Hasler and Neopost brand mailing equipment. In 2005, MMS completed the acquisition of the Neopost Tampa branch operation and assumed direct support responsibilities for over 1,500 Neopost postage meter customers along the Florida gulf coast from Ocala to Naples. In 2007, the Neopost Miami branch operation merged with Modular Mailing Systems. Today, MMS offers customers a choice of Hasler or Neopost brand products in the following Florida counties:

Broward, Charlotte, Citrus, Collier, Desoto, Glades, Hardee, Hendry, Hernando, Highlands, Hillsborough, Lee, Manatee, Marion, Martin, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, Sarasota and Sumter

In the other Florida markets that MMS serves, we offer Hasler products exclusively.  Hasler exclusive counties include:

Alachua, Baker, Bay, Bradford, Brevard, Calhoun, Clay, Columbia, Dixie, Duval, Flagler, Franklin, Gadsden, Gilchrist, Gulf, Hamilton, Holmes, Indian River, Jackson, Jefferson, Lafayette, Lake, Leon, Levy, Liberty, Madison, Monroe, Nassau, Okeechobee, Orange, Osceola, Seminole, St. Johns, St. Lucie, Suwannee, Taylor, Union, Volusia, Wakulla, Walton, Washington

It is also imporant to clarify that Modular Mailing Systems is an independent distributor. In fact, MMS is the largest independent distributor of postage meters and related mailroom technology in the world. MMS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hasler, Inc. and is not owned by Neopost Inc. or any of Neopost Inc.'s other independent dealers in central or north Florida. 

For two product generations, Hasler and Neopost postage meters and folder/inserters have been manufactured by Neopost Technology. They are of identical specifications and design and are absolutely the best in the industry. The highest quality equipment, however, is only a part of your individual mail center solution - a solution that is completed by the service you receive from your vendor. If you want and expect both the highest quality mailing systems available coupled with the very best customer service and technical support, then Modular Mailing Systems is the definitive choice.
