Global logistics provider DHL Group today said it has completed a corporate reorganization that will see the global operating group represented by an entity called DHL AG, while the company’s Deutsche Post AG unit continues to represent the German mail and parcel business.
Specifically, the publicly listed parent company now operates as DHL AG. DHL AG assumes responsibility for the strategic management, governance, and cross-divisional functions of the globally operating Group, while the Post & Parcel Germany business is managed as a separate legal entity. Germany’s mail and parcel business will continue to operate under the familiar name Deutsche Post AG, which remains a subsidiary of DHL AG and an integral part of the Group.
Company leaders said the move aligns the group’s legal organization more closely with its international business footprint. The new structure more clearly reflects how DHL Group operates today: as a global logistics company with five divisions structured as separate legal entities: Express, Global Forwarding, Supply Chain, eCommerce, and Post & Parcel Germany. Post & Parcel Germany will continue to operate under the name Deutsche Post AG, remaining responsible for the domestic mail and parcel business while also serving as a key pillar of DHL Group’s e-commerce growth strategy.
Despite the reorganization, executives said that customers would see very little change. For customers, everything remains unchanged: deliveries, retail outlets, automated postal stations, parcel lockers, mailboxes, products, and points of contact remain the same. And in Germany, Deutsche Post remains what it has always been: a reliable partner for mail, parcels, and universal postal services
