New structure: Why the postal group is still called DHL

The Deutsche Post is undergoing a structural and naming change as part of a reorganization approved by shareholders. Starting September 1, the company will formally separate from its parent company DHL, becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary under the DHL umbrella. The new structure positions DHL as the holding company responsible for strategic decisions affecting all subsidiaries, while Deutsche Post remains responsible for operational mail and parcel services. The name change sees 'Deutsche Post AG' become 'DHL AG', with the latter now representing the internationally recognized brand. This follows a previous renaming three years ago, but this time the legal registration has changed. Customers will notice no immediate changes, as services like postboxes and delivery points remain unchanged. On the stock market, the shares will transition from 'Post' to 'DHL', maintaining shareholder interests through indirect ownership.
