"Postcon's success is based on a clear strategic positioning as an attractively priced specialist and solution provider for business mail. The time has now come to take the next step and further expand Postcon's market position under Quantum Capital Partners", said Christian Holland-Moritz, who is a passionate advocate of a competitive mail market and, as new Managing Director, will be responsible for the strategic positioning of the Postcon Group in the future.
The 52-year-old has been involved in the alternative mail market since 2005 - both as an entrepreneur and as a manager - and is a proven industry expert. Among other things, he was Chief Operations Officer at Postcon from 2014 to 2016. Christian Holland-Moritz also has experience outside the mail market: as CEO and managing director, he has successfully implemented strategic realignments in both listed and medium-sized companies.
The reason for the change of ownership of Postcon is the decision of the former parent company PostNL to focus more on its core business (mail, parcels and e-commerce) in the Benelux countries.
Meanwhile, the future looks bright for Postcon: According to the Federal Network Agency, the German alternative letter market with Postcon as the leading provider was able to further expand its market share to approximately 16 percent.
In addition, the Federal Ministry of Economics is pushing ahead with an amendment of the 20-year-old Postal Act in order to further promote market competition and address key issues such as increased abuse control - to the benefit of the liberalized letter market, its players and customers.
