Deutsche Post arrives in NZ

Europe's biggest postal operator Deutsche Post makes its presence felt in New Zealand from today, when its bright yellow livery marries up with NZ Post's familiar red courier brands in a multi-million-dollar rebranding of vehicles, uniforms, and products.

Deutsche Post-owned DHL bought into NZ Post's courier business for more than $80 million in January. The two companies formed a new business, called Express Couriers, for the courier brands CourierPost and Pace, and logistics management company Contract Logistics.
