DHL logistics and parcel station expansion

Overview

DHL is expanding its service infrastructure and automated delivery capabilities in Germany and the broader DACH region.

Initial developments included the opening of a new parcel shop in Schwerte and the testing of a new indoor post station model in an Isselburg REWE supermarket. This indoor hardware features a slim control column with a touch display and payment terminal, representing a potential shift toward more cost-effective indoor parcel box solutions.

Following these service expansions, DHL Group completed the full acquisition of the Salzburg-based company myflexbox. Deutsche Post is merging its DeinFach subsidiary with myflexbox to create a provider-independent parcel station network. This strategic move aims to integrate multiple parcel services into a single locker system. DHL has set a target to expand its automated station network in Germany to approximately 50,000 units by 2030, with at least half intended to be myflexbox stations.

Recent activity includes the continued rollout of retail service points, such as a new parcel shop in Schwerte located within the Oraniants lottery shop. This site supports franked parcel drop-offs, returns, and the ‘Postfiliale Direkt’ service, contributing to a local network of 28 DHL service points in the Schwerte area.
