Deutsche Post seeks tie-up in U.S. for Express, but not with UPS

Deutsche Post AG. is seeking to solve problems at its loss-making Express business in the United States by forming a cooperation with a partner in that country, with Fedex Corp and the U.S. Postal Service as likely candidates, Euro am Sonntag reported, citing sources.

It said Deutsche Post has ruled out United Parcel Service Inc as a potential partner.

If Deutsche Post does not find an appropriate partner, it would let its DHL Express unit operate key hubs in the United States and then work with regional-based companies to deliver the parcels, the report said.

Deutsche Post chief executive Frank Appel told the AGM on May 6 that a complete exit from the U.S. market is not an option for the company.
