DHL Group has completed its corporate reorganization effective September 1. The new corporate structure approved by the Annual General Meeting aligns the Group's legal organization more closely with its international business footprint. For customers in Germany, the key message is simple: Deutsche Post remains Deutsche Post. Letters and parcels will continue to be delivered reliably. Retail outlets, automated postal stations, parcel lockers, and mailboxes will remain in place, as will products, services, and customer contacts.
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. This way, DHL Group combines global reach with continuity in its German mail and parcel operations.
Nikola Hagleitner, Board Member for Post & Parcel Germany: "For people and businesses across Germany, Deutsche Post remains what it has been for decades: a reliable part of everyday life. We are modernizing our corporate structure, strengthening the Group's global orientation, and creating the foundation for future growth. At the same time, everything remains familiar to our customers: letters, parcels, retail outlets, parcel lockers, automated postal stations, and mailboxes. We will continue delivering exactly as people expect us to."
The new structure more clearly reflects how DHL Group operates today: as the world's leading 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.
