About DHL
DHL takes its name from the first letter of the last names of each founder: Adrian Dalsey, Larry Hillblom and Robery Lynn. Founded in San Francisco in 1969, DHL began relatively modestly by shipping cargo documents between San Francisco and Hawaii. This service – which was initially provided by a single plane – allowed customs procedures to begin in advance of the arrival of shipments. It was DHL that also pioneered express international air delivery services.
During the 1970s, DHL underwent a rapid period of expansion. New services were launched along the Pacific Rim, and among the main destinations serviced by DHL at this time were Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan. Services were expanded to Europe in 1974, and by 1978, deliveries and pick-ups were being made in Africa, Latin America and Australia. Up until 1979, DHL specialized in the deliver of documents, but its service expanded to parcel delivery with great success. DHL became the first express delivery company to operate in China, after an agreement was reached with the Chinese government.
Deutsche Post AG was founded in 1995, and by 1998 the huge German logistics company had acquired a minority stake in DHL. A formal merger was completed in 2002, which protected the jobs of the 71,000 DHL Worldwide Express employees at the time. The Deutsche Post logistics services were branded as DHL in 2003. Deutsche Post DHL is now one of the largest logistics companies in the world. Worldwide parcel deliveries are provided by DHL, and extensive mail services are provided under the Deutsche Post brand in Germany. By 2013, the company had an annual turnover in excess of 55 billion euros, and it employed more than 400,000 people across the world.
