IPO in the year 2000
Our systematic growth strategy – and the integration of our business
segments and corporate divisions – will define our corporate policy in this
and coming years. All measures currently being taken are aimed at further
increasing goodwill and safeguarding jobs on a long-term basis. Our
upcoming initial public offering provides an important guidepost for
these activities.
Deutsche Post’s sound balance sheet and financial situation enables us to
further expand and reinforce our market position. We will be steadily
strengthening our fast-growing communications and logistics group in
preparation of our planned stock market floatation in the second half of
the year 2000.
