Deutsche Post DHL Group originated from the Deutsche Bundespost, which had been a state-owned postal-delivery, logistics and telecommunication company. It was divided and privatized in 1995 and Deutsche Post AG became a thoroughly independent company with its IPO in November 2000 (DPDHL, 2020). Ever since, the company has continuously expanded its business through acquisition activities and became the world largest courier company. The most significant milestone was the acquisition of DHL in December 2002. Now, around 550.000 employees are working for DPDHL and achieved a revenue of 63,341 million and an EBIT of 4,128 million. The group is structured in five divisions: Post & Parcel Germany, Express, Global Forwarding / Freight, Supply Chain and eCommerce Solutions. In the era of corona and technological breakthroughs, the world is constantly changing and so does the world of business. Especially, a global operating logistic company needs to adapt rapidly to these changes.
