Important information for DHL Group business customers
We would like to give you a clear overview of what the modernization of our group structure means for our cooperation. Upon entry of the hive down in the commercial register of the current Deutsche Post AG, which is planned for the second half of 2026, the entire Post & Parcel Germany division – including all its assets and liabilities and particularly all existing contracts – will be automatically transferred by operation of statutory laws to the future Deutsche Post AG (partial universal succession).
The future Deutsche Post AG will remain a central component of our portfolio and your reliable partner. As the transfer of the contract is not taking place on a contractual basis but by operation of law, no action on your part is required for the legal transfer to take effect.
What you should know:
After registration, the new company will officially trade as Deutsche Post AG.
The hive down only affects existing contracts with the current Deutsche Post AG. Contracts with DHL Paket GmbH, other subsidiaries or divisions, remain unaffected.
Following the entry of the hive down in the second half of 2026: We ask you to switch your ordering, delivery and invoicing processes to the future Deutsche Post AG in order to adapt the system side to the changed legal situation. If you place orders or make other declarations to the future Deutsche Post AG and pay the invoices issued by that company, we assume that everything is in order and that the contract transfer has been successful.
