Toshiba Installs TT-2000 Sorting System at Slovenia’s Main Postal Hub

Toshiba Corporation has completed the delivery and installation of its TT-2000 flat and letter sorting machines at the Ljubljana Sorting Center, operated by Post of Slovenia, the country’s national postal operator. The official launch ceremony was held on February 26, attended by senior representatives from both organisations as well as Japan’s Ambassador to Slovenia.

The TT-2000 uses Toshiba’s optical character recognition technology, first developed for postal systems in the 1960s, to read addresses and sort mail by postal code, district or delivery sequence. It handles a wide range of formats from 140mm x 90mm up to 330mm x 254mm and processes up to 40,000 items per hour, supporting both letters and flat mail sorted together.

Post of Slovenia ordered the system in 2024 to address ageing equipment and improve sorting efficiency without expanding its floor footprint. This is the third Toshiba system deployed at the Ljubljana center, following earlier installations of a parcel sorter and a packet sorter built for the rise in e-commerce volumes.
