history
The headquarters were in the Centralpostbygningen building in Copenhagen, built in 1912 .
The modern Post Danmark company was founded in 1991 when the state authority was transformed into a public company. It was 100 percent owned by the Danish Ministry of Transport. In 2002 the Folketing decided to privatize Post Danmark and turn it into a private joint-stock company. Three years later, 22 percent of the shares were bought by CVC Capital Partners , who sold this package back to the Danish state in 2009. 3 percent of the shares were given to Swiss Post employees.
On June 24, 2009, Post Danmark and Swedish Post ( Posten AB ) merged into a joint stock company. The new joint post appeared in Denmark and Sweden until 2016 with national subsidiaries Post Danmark and Posten . The joint stock company was initially called Post Norden , since 2011 PostNord . The Swedish state holds 60 percent of the shares, the Danish 40.
Until 2015, the name Post Danmark was also associated with the internationally known Post Danmark Rundt cycle race .
