Deutsche Post to Offer Mail Service in Japan

Posted by | Aug 11, 2002 | |

Deutsche Post AG, Europe’s largest postal/transport services company, plans to begin an international mail service in Japan this autumn, sources close to the matter said, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun Sunday edition reported. The German company will use the parcel-collection network that affiliate DHL International Ltd. operates in Japan to send overseas large quantities of direct mail of Japanese companies at cut-rate prices. The planned move is designed to pre-empt the Japanese government plan to expand the scope of overseas mail services when Postal Public Corp. is established next year. The new public corporation is expected to face immediate competition from private companies in the international business. Deutsche Post is entering the Japanese market as part of efforts to expand its Global Mail Service worldwide. Most of the work will be outsourced to affiliate DHL Japan Inc., but the service will be offered under the Deutsche Post brand.

Deutsche Post to Enter British Letter-Delivery Market

Posted by | Aug 7, 2002 | |

German postal services and logistics giant Deutsche Post AG is continuing its rapid expansion in Europe.
A spokeswoman confirmed Wednesday that the company expects to be granted a license before the end of this month, allowing it to enter the letter-delivery market in Britain. “But we don’t have the license yet,” she cautioned.
A British license would take effect immediately. It would initially allow Deutsche Post to make 40 million letter deliveries a year – around half the volume currently handled by Britain’s state-owned Royal Mail service, recently renamed Consignia.
People close to Deutsche Post in Bonn said that the aim was to eventually obtain a full, long-term license for the British market.

Deutsche Post operating profit down 6 per cent

Posted by | Aug 1, 2002 | |

Deutsche Post World Net will file a complaint with the European Court of Justice.
The decision from Brussels to request 850 million euro in repayments from Deutsche Post practically sets off the entire consolidated net profit. In the first half, this figure is 155 million euros (previous year: a good 1 billion), corresponding to earnings per share of 0.14 euro (0.94).
In the first half of 2002 Deutsche Post World Net’s revenues increased by over 15 per cent to 19.4 billion euro, driven primarily by the takeover of the majority in the worldwide leading express service provider DHL International. The Group’s international revenues rose by over 47 per cent to 7.7 billion euros, representing a 40 per cent share in consolidated revenue. This confirms its rapid transformation from a domestic mail and parcel service provider to a globally leading logistics group.
