Overview
- The acquisition, which closed Thursday, October 1, 2026, was executed by DHL subsidiary AZL/DeinFach and will merge DeinFach with Myflexbox under the Myflexbox brand.
- Deutsche Post raised its Germany target to about 50,000 locker stations by 2030 and says at least half of those will be carrier‑open Myflexbox units.
- Myflexbox currently runs roughly 2,000 machines in Germany and 1,000 in Austria, has about 100 employees, and was sold by Star Capital for an undisclosed price.
- Myflexbox’s CEO says the network will remain neutral to other carriers, but competitors and observers have raised questions about fairness of access, location allocation, and market concentration.
- The deal shifts DHL from mostly proprietary Packstation operations toward a mixed model that aims to cut doorstep work, use scarce urban sites more efficiently, and leave rivals such as GLS/DPD and Hermes with smaller locker plans.
