On the other hand, it expands the services to the countries that could not get other services of delivery, including the Vietnam, Eastern Bloc and the China.

The German Post in 1998, started acquiring company shares, and reached finally to the majority of ownership in the year 2001 and finished the acquisition in the year 2002. German Post DHL then efficiently expands into the Express division. Now, the shares of Express are well known for the brand DHL with Deutsche Post's.
