What Citipost does

Citipost Nordwest GmbH & Co. KG is a regional postal and logistics service provider headquartered in Oldenburg, Germany, operating exclusively in the Northwest (Nordwest) German market. The company is privately held under the holding company Citipost Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH and is operationally affiliated with the MADSACK Mediengruppe, a regional German media group whose data protection officer is listed as Citipost's DPO, indicating shared back-office integration. Citipost serves both private consumers (Privatkunden) and business customers (Geschäftskunden), offering a portfolio of traditional postal services including letter and parcel handling, mail forwarding (Nachsendeauftrag), mail storage (Lagerungsauftrag), pickup services (Abholkunden), and physical stamps (Briefmarken) and parcel labels (Paketmarken) sold via an online storefront.

The company's product surface combines physical infrastructure with light digital tooling. Its physical infrastructure consists of a network of mailboxes and Servicepoints across Northwest Germany, findable through a website locator with a 100km radius search. Digital channels include the citipost-nordwest.de e-commerce storefront for stamps and parcel labels, a separate eVersand platform hosted at citipost.online that enables business customers to send letters and packages electronically with integrated printing and enveloping, and a shipment tracking tool at cpv2642.sendung.info. Pricing is unit-based and low-ticket: standard letters are sold at €9.50 per 10-pack, compact letters at €11.00, large letters at €18.00, maxi letters at €29.00, and parcel labels ranging from €51.90 (2kg) to €189.90 (20kg). Mail storage is priced at €9.90 for up to two months. The company is TÜV-certified to ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 14001 (environmental management), and explicitly references compliance with the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG).

Citipost's revenue mechanics are predominantly transactional and retail-style for consumer services (stamps, parcel labels, storage, forwarding) with subscription/recurring characteristics in its business services (printing/enveloping, shipping bags, pickup services, redirection orders). Distribution is omnichannel at the regional level: e-commerce for stamp/label sales, direct sales for enterprise services, and physical Servicepoints for drop-off and pickup. The company has no disclosed mobile app, no public API, no AI/ML capabilities, no patents, no public funding history, and no M&A activity. Managing directors are Jan Fitzner and Andreas Klatt.
