Mail items wait to be sorted in the central sortation section of the federal Swiss postal service in Zurich-Mulligen. On an area of 70'000 square meters, Swiss postal service is processing the majority of 15 million letters per day in Zurich-Mulligen, the largest of three mail sorting section hubs in Switzerland. Although the whole process is highly automated, some manual work is still required for special mail items.
