Frama is a Swiss quality name known to postal professionals worldwide, first for reliability and innovation, but most of all for its consistent development of the modular franking system concept.
Founded in 1970 in Lauperswil (Berne), Frama AG is totally specialised in the development and manufacture of postal management systems. Today's Frama product offer includes franking machines and systems, electronic and manual letter-openers, folding machines and electronic postal scales, as well as stamp-vending machines, postal counter systems and self-service postal systems.
All these products are entirely designed, developed and manufactured in Lauperswil, then exported worldwide to over 60 countries. Sales and service are assured by its own subsidiary companies and by exclusive dealers. 95% of all Frama turnover is earned outside Switzerland.
All Frama products share a recognised reputation for high quality, reliability and performance. Its corporate philosophy is to develop only innovative products, those that guarantee customers an excellent, immediate price/performance ratio and protect their investment in the future.
Present Frama market share can fluctuate between 5% and 60% according to country. In sales of electronic stamp-vending machines to postal authorities, Frama is a world-wide leader.
It is a distinguishing characteristic of Frama's A to Z quality philosophy that the company not only manufactures every one of its products in its Lauperswil headquarters but also makes every part of which the product is composed. Nor does it stop there. It builds virtually every machine-tool required in their manufacture. This is how Frama continues to accumulate the leadership know-how and expertise necessary for the development of successful new products and at the same time guarantees the long-term availability of spare parts for products already in use all over the world.
Continual growth in demand for Frama's innovative product range has required the company to double its production capacity and floorspace in the last ten years. Alongside this expansion, productivity itself is continuously increased by the regular acquisition of the latest computer-controlled technology in manufacturing and assembly processes.
All these future-oriented investments - in research, development and 100% corporate independence based on robust financial health - are Frama's management pride; but they are also the guarantees of reliability, stability and continuity that the worldwide customer base of the Frama Group has the right to expect.
