The proposed amendment to the company’s articles of association will maintain the name ‘Deutsche Post AG’ for its subsidiary, ‘Post und Paket Deutschland.’ This rebranding is justified by the fact that letter and parcel delivery now constitutes only about 20% of total revenue, with international operations and freight transport gaining prominence. The company, which originated from the Bundespost in the 1990s, integrated the US logistics firm DHL in 2002, with the acronym representing its founders Dalsey, Hillblom, and Lynn. This announcement was broadcast on Deutschlandfunk on May 5, 2026.
