DPD Parcel Delivery Services

DPD (Dynamic Parcel Distribution) began its journey in Germany in 1976, founded by a consortium of 18 leading German freight forwarders. Its original mission was to modernize parcel shipping by moving away from traditional rail-based transport to a more efficient road-based system. The brand quickly established itself as a leader in B2B logistics within the European market.

Over the decades, the ownership structure evolved significantly. In 2001, GeoPost, a subsidiary of the French national postal service La Poste, became a majority shareholder. By 2026, the brand operates as a core pillar of Geopost, which is the international parcel delivery network of the French postal giant. Today, DPD is a global logistics powerhouse, providing comprehensive courier, express, and parcel services across Europe, Asia, and other international regions through a vast network of local subsidiaries and franchise partners.
