DHL’s HISTORY
These are the first letters of the last names of the three company founders, Adrian Dalsey, Larry Hillblom and Robert Lynn.
In 1969, the three partners took a small step that would have a profound impact on the way the world does business.
The founders began to personally ship papers by airplane from San Francisco to Honolulu, beginning customs clearance of the ship's cargo before the actual arrival of the ship and dramatically reducing waiting time in the harbour.
Customers stood to save a fortune.
With this concept, a new industry was born: international air express, the rapid delivery of documents and shipments by airplane.
Deutsche Post World Net And DHL consolidation
In 2003, Deutsche Post World Net consolidated all of its express and logistics activities into DHL. The DHL brand was further strengthened by Deutsche Post World Net's acquisition of Exel in December 2005.
The DHL expertise is pooled from a number of companies acquired by Deutsche Post World Net. To name a few:
Exel
Deutsche Post Euro Express
