Globalization is on the rise, and the world’s economy is becoming increasingly
interconnected. Facing ever greater competition, companies are forced to concentrate
on their core competencies while leveraging the advantages of global procurement
markets. For this reason, they rely on logistics partners with extensive reach and
expertise in complex, global supply chains. As an international logistics company,
Deutsche Post World Net will benet from this trend.
Although deregulation of the mail market is progressing at dierent speeds in
various European countries, we have opportunities to progressively strengthen our
competitive position in European markets that are currently still closed to us or are
strictly regulated.

the logistics industry. Although companies and their customers are oen geographically
separated, consumers expect rapid deliveries. is calls for specialists with simple and
transparent logistics solutions. As communications become increasingly digital, new
markets emerge for our company in which we can sell new products and services.

Choice quality program represents our eort to increase customer loyalty in the
competitive logistics market and to also attract new customers.

tailored solutions for the management and transportation of mail, goods and
information. Our range of services and geographical reach are increasingly making
us the preferred logistics partner to discerning global clients.

business. is step enables us to improve our internal workows and service
quality while also cutting costs. We continually strive to optimize our transportation
