2013-2021: Connecting the dots in a digital world

Since 1919, Strålfors has successfully managed to transform at every major paradigm, always in close cooperation with our customers.

Now, at almost 100 years as a company, it is time to change again – not because we have to, but because we simply cannot stand still. For us at PostNord Stralfors, this is what it has always been about – change.

We need to develop new skills and acquire new knowledge. Our society is in the midst of a huge transformation from analog to digital. The situation places new demands on all of us, but it also gives us new opportunities. All end consumers of communication solution expect more personal experiences in the channels they choose. They expect Omnichannel.

So, in order to stay relevant, the same applies for our customers. Not only do they have to deliver what the customers want, but also communicate properly through the full customer journey. They need Omnichannel to succeed.

In recent years, PostNord Strålfors has evolved into a unique digitisation partner for companies with a large customer base. We know what it takes to support them on their digital journey. We understand complex systems and processes. We always deliver the right message to the right person, at the right time and in the right channel.

Today, with more than 100 years of experience, PostNord Strålfors is the leading provider of Omnichannel solutions in the Nordic region.
