Company uniforms issued
In just five months, Deutsche
Post outfits some 148,000 of its
employees with new uniforms.
An important element in our
public image, these uniforms
are an expression of our strong,
consistent identity.
May July August September
New record for J+1:
95 per cent
During the second quarter of
the year, Deutsche Post delivered
letters within Germany faster
than ever before. Ninety-five
out of a hundred letters were
delivered to their addressee
within one day; 99 per cent
reached their destination within
two days. This translates into
an average transmission time
of 1.06 days.
Customer Helpline opens
in Marburg
A new Customer Helpline –
the second Deutsche Post Call
Center in Germany – goes on
line in Marburg. The Helpline
answers all customer questions
regarding our products and
services.
2,300 new trainees
Deutsche Post raises the num-
ber of its trainees once again in
1998 – by ten per cent – provid-
ing promising opportunities for
even more young people fresh
out of school. Those who suc-
cessfully complete their training
will be offered a job with
Deutsche Post.
Acquisition of Global Mail
(USA)
Deutsche Post enters the North
American market in September
through its acquisition of
Global Mail, the largest private
provider of international mail
services in the United States
today. Posting double-digit
growth rates, Global Mail has
clearly demonstrated that it
is a flourishing enterprise.
Deutsche Post took this step
to further internationalize its
postal business in response
to customer wishes and ever-
growing competition.
