Operations

PostNord implemented a new organization in 2014. The change will further integrate the group and make it easier to offer Nordic end-to-end solutions within the three focus areas: Mail & Communication, logistics and e-commerce.

Market

The logistics market in the Nordic region has had a relatively stable development. The Nordic logistics market that is relevant to PostNord equates to about SEK 150–190 billion. Demand for Nordic end-to-end solutions is growing. Demand for parcel services, the shipping of part and full loads and third-party logistics (TPL) has grown, while the trend for demand in Air & Ocean has been weaker.

PostNord operates in all the Nordic countries and Germany, and via its subsidiary Direct Link it also runs international operations in the form of distribution solutions for lightweight goods and it is part of the DPD network for global logistics solutions.
