Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE:PBI) today held a ribbon-cutting
ceremony attended by Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno and Newark
Mayor Cory A. Booker, among other local and state officials, to
commemorate the opening of its new mail services facility in
Newark, New Jersey. The site, which will serve as a new
International Mail Distribution Center, will process approximately
50 million pieces of international mail per year, expanding the
company’s mail services operations in New Jersey. The new facility
will bring 180 jobs to Newark and the company expects to create an
additional 25 jobs at its Newark site during the next few
years.
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Pitney Bowes and guests will
join customers to explore the new space. Located in Newark’s
Enterprise Zone at 158 Mt. Olivet Avenue, the new Pitney Bowes mail
services facility includes approximately 76,000 square feet of
space.
“Pitney Bowes would like to extend our thanks to city and state
officials for helping to make it possible for us to open the doors
to our new facility in Newark, and keep and grow jobs in New
Jersey,” said John Ward, president, Pitney Bowes Global Mail
Services. “We are honored to join the city of Newark as a new
member of the local business community and look forward to a long

The new Pitney Bowes facility is located in Newark’s UEZ, one of
32 zones in New Jersey that the state has designated with specific
incentives to revitalize urban communities and encourage business
investment. Pitney Bowes signed a First Source agreement with the
City of Newark and Newark’s Brick City Development Corporation

recruit and hire qualified residents of Newark who apply for
positions at the facility through Pitney Bowes’s online job

“I am pleased that Pitney Bowes is the latest world-class
company to choose Newark,” said Mayor Booker. “By opening a major
international mail services facility in the South Ward, Pitney
Bowes is building on Newark’s emerging leadership in the logistics
industry. I thank the leadership of Pitney Bowes for committing to
a First Source Agreement which will prioritize the hiring of Newark
residents for job opportunities. Even in this difficult climate,
businesses are choosing Newark and are discovering all that our
City has to offer.”
