The unit, led by president Neil Metviner, will manage the postal equipment maker’s small business customer base and develop cross-selling opportunities with other units of the Stamford, CT-based company.

The new organization will be part of the firm’s global mailing systems unit and will report to executive vice president Murray Martin.
