DHL simply means Dalsey, Hillblom, Lynn
It’s an international
shipping, courier, and packaging service. DHL was established in 1969 by Adrian
Dalsey, Larry Hillblom, and Robert Lynn. The name DHL is derived from the first
initial of each founder's last name. DHL has numerous cargo transport systems
including planes, trains, and boats. DHL serves more than 120,000 designations
and 220 countries. As of 2002, Deutsche Post World Net owns the majority of
shares.
In 1969 DHL Worldwide Express started with the transport of customs documents by plane. As a result, the customs clearance time for freight shipments was drastically reduced. Where the first flights took place mainly between San Francisco and Honolulu, the network was later expanded. Since 2013, DHL Express has been the global market leader in international express delivery and logistics.
Deutsche Post (DP) took over the Dutch Van Gend & Loos (including Selektvracht) in 1999. Since the end of the year 2002, DHL Worldwide Express has been 100% owned by Deutsche Post and since 1 April 2003 the name 'DHL' has also been used as a name for both Van Gend & Loos and for the two already existing express carriers of DP, Danzas and Deutsche Post Euro Express.
In August 2005, Klaus Zumwinkel, the then CEO of DP, announced that he had made an offer for the British logistics company Exel PLC (not to be confused with Exel Aviation Group). The actual acquisition was announced in December. The amount that was paid for was the largest amount that DP had ever paid for a takeover. The approximately 125,000 employees of Exel have been taken over by DP and are now partly covered by DHL.
