PostNord AB is a provider of postal services operating mainly in the Nordic countries. The company was formed on 24 June 2009, under the name Posten Norden, as the holding company in a merger between the Danish and Swedish postal service providers Post Danmark A/S and Posten AB. In 2011, the name of the company was changed to PostNord.[1][3][4][5]
The owners of PostNord Group are the state of Sweden (60 percent) and the state of Denmark (40 percent). The voting rights are, however, split equally (50/50) between the two owners, and the respective owners name equal numbers of corporate board members.[6][7]
In 2015, the subsidiary that operates in Sweden changed its name from Posten AB to PostNord Group AB, whereas the name of the legal entity operating in Denmark was not changed.[8][9] In Sweden, as of 2020[update], the group is the second largest employer by number of employees, after Volvo Cars.[10]
