Deutsche Post Global Mail USA has restructured its services and customer support.

The Herndon, Va.-based magazine and direct mail provider had its products into three groups: Global Mail Business, Global Mail Publication, and Global Mail Parcel. Each of them retains the three service levels previously offered -priority, standard and economy.

The subsidiary of German-based Deutsche Post World Net said each product group has a manager and account representatives to offer customer support.

Deutsche Post chief executive Klaus Zumwinkel said the company attained its core profit and sales targets in 2002 and would probably surpass a cost-cutting goal set for 2003. The company will release its 2002 results on March 25.

Deutsche Post, the semi-privatised German postal authority, wants to acquire a stake in the Chinese state-run logistics firm, Sinotrans, a board member of the German group said in a newspaper interview published Wednesday.

“We’ve expressed our strong interest in a strategic partnership to the Chinese government,” Deutsche Post board member Uwe Doerken told the Financial Times Deutschland.

“We hope our leading market position and our long-standing joint venture with Sinontrans will make us the preferred candidate for a stake,” he added.
