DPD is an international parcel delivery company owned by GeoPost. It has more than 830 depots in more than 40 countries and is one of Europe's leading business-to-business parcel delivery services. ==History== The company was founded in 1977 in Aschaffenburg, Germany. In its first year of operation, over 1.4 million parcels were shipped. By 1980, this figure had risen to 7 million per year. Today, 2 million parcels are shipped every day. DPD was originally ''Deutscher Paketdienst'' until 2008 (meaning German Parcel Service), and "Dynamic Parcel Distribution" until 2015. DPD is majority-owned by GeoPost, a subsidiary of La Poste, France's postal service.〔(“GeoPost and La Poste Group,” ) GeoPost (Global express parcel).〕 Geopost bought UK carrier Parceline and Ireland's Interlink parcels service in 2001 for around $277 million.〔("Europe company: La Poste buys two British parcel delivery firms," ) Economist Intelligence Unit, The Economist (November 3rd 2000). Retrieved 25-04-2013.〕 Parceline was rebranded DPD in March 2008. DPD became a carbon neutral company in July 2012. The company uses a carbon neutral method called "Total Zero".〔("Auctigo" )〕 This is offered to customers without any extra cost. In a survey carried out by Which? in 2014, DPD was voted the best delivery company in the United Kingdom.〔http://www.which.co.uk/news/2014/10/we-reveal-the-best-delivery-firm---and-the-worst-381917/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dynamic Parcel Distribution」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
