The Israel Postal Company relies upon Mul-T-Lock for the continual supply and ongoing improvement of POB locks. The agreement annually totals 150,000 locks, at a total cost of approximately 1.5 million NIS.
“The Israel Postal Company wanted a secure and durable lock for post office boxes,” says Yaron Isakov, First Fit & P.E.U. Manager for the Israeli Market.
“They needed a lock that would withstand all weather conditions – from snow in the country’s high regions, to extreme summertime heat in the southern desert. We met with their representatives, and together we defined their specific needs. Then our R&D team developed a specially customized POB lock, just for them, and since then we have met regularly, every few months, to create further improvements for the product.”
The new locks, fitted into all new post office boxes, and gradually replacing existing locks as well, were developed with special Mul-T-Lock combination series, ensuring advanced security for customers of the Postal Company. Their bright red, easy-to-identify key heads reflect the close cooperation between the two companies – displaying the Mul-T-Lock logo on one side, and the Israel Postal Company logo on the other.
“This is a unique product, not anything you can get off the shelf, but the technology is naturally available for other customers,” says Yaron Isakov.
“We have a long-standing relationship with the Israel Post and so far we have developed around five different special products for them, so they know we are a reliable supplier.”
