Allgäu Mail

Allgäu Mail (allgäu mail GmbH) is a German regional postal service company based in the Allgäu region of Bavaria. It was founded on 2 May 2003 as a subsidiary of the Allgäuer Zeitung, a regional newspaper publisher. The company emerged following the opening of the German letter monopoly previously held by Deutsche Post AG, a liberalization that allowed private firms to enter the mail delivery market. Allgäu Mail received license number P03/1920 from the Bundesnetzagentur (Federal Network Agency), authorizing it to commercially transport letter mail. The company specializes in letter delivery and offers a comprehensive, individualized service package to both business and private customers. Its services include collection, transport, and delivery of mail, marketed as reliable, flexible, and inexpensive. Allgäu Mail operates regionally with its own delivery staff and collaborates nationally through the Mail Alliance network, achieving approximately 70% household coverage across Germany. The company also provides a mailbox search tool, postage stamp sales points, a price calculator, and philately services. In addition, it offers digital mail sending via www.allgaeu-mail.digital. As a regional postal operator, Allgäu Mail competes with Deutsche Post and other private mail providers in Germany. Its parent company, the Allgäuer Zeitung, is a major regional newspaper based in Kempten, Bavaria. Allgäu Mail remains an active subsidiary focused on letter logistics and related postal services.

Allgäu Mail was established on 2 May 2003 as a subsidiary of the Allgäuer Zeitung, a regional newspaper publisher in the Allgäu region of Bavaria, Germany. Its creation was made possible by the liberalization of the German letter monopoly that had been held by Deutsche Post AG. This market opening allowed private companies to obtain licenses for commercial mail delivery. Allgäu Mail received license number P03/1920 from the Bundesnetzagentur (Federal Network Agency), authorizing it to transport letter mail commercially. From its inception, the company focused on letter delivery services, offering collection, transport, and delivery to business and private customers. It positioned itself as a reliable, flexible, and inexpensive alternative to the incumbent postal operator. Over time, Allgäu Mail expanded its service portfolio to include mailbox search tools, postage stamp sales points, price calculators, and philately services. It also developed a digital mail sending platform at www.allgaeu-mail.digital. To extend its reach beyond its home region, Allgäu Mail joined the Mail Alliance network, a cooperation of private postal companies in Germany. Through this network and its own regional delivery staff, the company achieves approximately 70% household coverage across Germany. As of the present, Allgäu Mail remains an active subsidiary of the Allgäuer Zeitung, continuing to provide regional and nationwide letter delivery services.
