 DHL
Express is a division of Deutsche Post providing international
express mail services. Originally founded in 1969 to deliver documents
between San Francisco and Honolulu, the company expanded its service
throughout the world by the late 1970s. The company was primarily
interested in offshore and inter-continental deliveries, but the success
of FedEx prompted their own inter-US expansion starting in 1983. DHL
aggressively expanded to countries that could not be served by any
other delivery service, including the Eastern Bloc, Vietnam and the
People's Republic of China.In 1998, Deutsche Post began to acquire shares in DHL, finally reached majority ownership in 2001, and completed the purchase in 2002. Deutsche Post then effectively absorbed DHL into its Express division while expanding the use of the DHL brand to other Deutsche Post divisions, business units and subsidiaries. Today, DHL Express shares its well-known DHL brand with other Deutsche Post business units such as DHL Global Forwarding and DHL Exel Supply Chain. - DHL TRACKING |
