PostNord tracking

Being Sweden's national postal service, PostNord aims to make life easier for its consumers, customers, and colleagues.

What is PostNord?

PostNord is a multinational courier and delivery holding company, which is owned by two Scandinavian countries in Northern Europe. PostNord was born out of a merger between Posten AB, the name of the Swedish postal service, and the Danish national post, Post Danmark A/S. PostNord is now jointly owned by the Swedish and Danish governments, which own 60 per cent and 40 per cent respectively.

However, both of the postal services that merged had a long history prior to the merger, Posten AB was founded in 1636 for use by the royal family. However, more recently the company had begun to act as a government-owned limited partnership and served as the national mail service of Sweden before the merger.

Today, PostNord is a large multinational company that serves the Nordic region, and its operations aid logistics for individuals and businesses in the region. PostNord also has lots of other stakeholders due to being owned by its respective governments, such as the general public and the governments of both countries involved in overseeing its operation and making sure it is serving the general interests of its respective populations.
