Thousands of yellow Swiss Post mailboxes are in use around the world. The Post announced this this week. In 2008, 2009 and 2010, she sent more than 10,000 mailboxes to Ecuador, Cuba and African countries, the post boss said Roberto Cirillo announce. However, the yellow mailboxes that customers see on the Swiss streets today are neither sold nor given away. Models that are no longer usable are returned to the supplier. They are dismantled there and the parts that are still usable for use in mailboxes are reused. In short: the post office is generous if it costs more than 60 million francs Buys forest in the German state of Thuringia. Or when it spends millions on a new logo that is controversial because of trademark rights. But in her spare parts warehouse she seems to pay attention to every franc.
Competition Ifolor is happy regarding post-austerity measures
Speaking of saving at the post office: Until recently, the smartphone app Postcard Creator allowed customers to send a free postcard every 24 hours – for example, a nice cell phone photo from the holidays for their grandparents and one to their grandparents the next day. That is no longer possible. A personal postcard can only be sent for free every seven days. Otherwise a ticket costs 2.10 francs. The one from Roberto Cirillo The state-run company not only saves money, but also opens up new sources of income. This is a real treat for the competition. The one from Hannes Schwarz The Thurgau photo delivery company Ifolor is currently that it will not let its customers and their loved ones down. Until Black Friday on November 24th, you can send a free postcard every day using the Ifolor app. And – in contrast to the post office – even worldwide. The aunt in America is happy.
With Ifolor you can send a postcard every day: Hannes Schwarz.

UBS hijacks the CS Purchasing Managers Index
The new monster bank UBS hasn’t even come close to digesting Credit Suisse before it’s already absorbing another product from its takeover target. On Wednesday it published the monthly purchasing managers’ index, which is considered one of the most reliable early indicators of developments in industry and the service sector. For more than 25 years, Credit Suisse had created this index together with the Association for Purchasing and Supply Chain Management. Now UBS has under its chief economist Daniel Kalt hijacked the index. Coincidence or not: Kalt started working as an economist at UBS at exactly the same time that his former competitors from Credit Suisse were working on the purchasing managers index for the first time.
Under him, UBS has incorporated another CS product: Daniel Kalt, chief economist at UBS.

Axpo boss is unlikely to be happy regarding new requirements
With the Renewal of the Axpo contract Thanks to the SP and SVP, a majority of the Zurich cantonal parliament decided on guidelines at the beginning of the week that are submitted to Axpo management Christoph Brand should not bring any joy: They demand more security of supply in cantonal laws, which comes at the expense of the energy company’s flourishing trading business. Limits will be placed on its foreign investments, and Axpo should continue to make a substantial contribution to domestic electricity production in the future. Now it’s up to the Axpo representatives sent from Zurich Roger Wüthrich-Hasenböhler, Peter Kreuzberg and Katia Plutoto advocate for these guidelines. If they don’t, they no longer belong on the board of directors, say voices from the cantonal parliament.
