Weather…

The MaltaPost head office in Marsa is the logistical hub of the national postal service, playing a vital role in the country's communication and e-commerce infrastructure. Established in 1998 as the successor to the state postal services, MaltaPost has evolved into a publicly traded company on the Malta Stock Exchange. From this central facility, the sorting and distribution of millions of mail items and parcels are managed daily across the islands. The company operates a vast network of over 40 post offices and features diverse financial and business logistics solutions. With the rapid growth of online shopping, MaltaPost has successfully transitioned into a modern logistics provider, introducing automated parcel lockers and express delivery services. The head office also houses administrative departments and the philatelic bureau, which is responsible for Malta's globally collected stamps. Ongoing technological upgrades ensure the continued efficiency of the universal postal service. It stands as one of the largest employers in the Maltese Islands.
