The Austrian Post AG has sold its shares in the German pharmaceutical wholesaler AEP. The closing is expected in the first quarter of 2026. The Austrian Post participated in the parent company ADELHEID in 2013, which holds 100 percent of AEP. Over the years, the Post has increased its stake to 51.52 percent. AEP generated revenue of around one billion euros in 2025. In light of this development, the previous owners have decided to sell their shares to enable the company to enter a new phase of growth.
After the sale, the Austrian Post AG will focus on its core business as an e-commerce service provider. This particularly includes activities in Southeast and Eastern Europe as well as in Turkey. The new owner of AEP, The Platform Group, already has experience in the pharmaceutical sector and plans, according to the Post, to integrate the pharmaceutical wholesaler into its existing offerings. The goal is to leverage synergies and further develop the company.
