 DHL is the global market leader of the international express and logistics industry, specializing in providing innovative and customized solutions from a single source.
Created through the integration of DHL Worldwide Express, Danzas and Deutsche Post Euro Express in January 2003, DHL has continued to grow, acquiring Exel in 2005 to become the global market leader of the international express and logistics industry.
Owned 100% by Deutsche Post World Net, DHL provides expertise in express, air and ocean freight, overland transport and logistics solutions, combined with worldwide coverage and an in-depth understanding of local markets. The group generated revenues of €45 billion in 2005.
To meet the demands of over 4.2 million customers around the globe, DHL’s international network links more than 220 countries and territories worldwide. In addition to DHL’s fleet of over 400 aircraft, 76,000 vehicles service more than 120,000 destinations in all continents. Across its DHL Express, DHL Global Forwarding and DHL Exel Supply Chain divisions, over 285,000 employees are dedicated to providing fast and reliable services that exceed customers’ expectations.

In this region, DHL’s investments exceed a phenomenal US$1.6 billion. A total of US$400 million has been invested into DHL’s joint venture with Cathay Pacific and Air Hong Kong under the joint venture agreement. In 2005, DHL invested a further US$110 million to expand the Central Asia Superhub, 6 years ahead of schedule to meet continual strong growth. In China alone, DHL is investing US$300 million.
