DHL: The Beginning
In 1969, Adrian Dalsey, Larry Hillblom and Robert Lynn (D, H, and L) founded DHL as a service shuttling bills of lading between San Francisco and Honolulu. The company grew rapidly and in a few years initiated service to the Philippines, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia, creating an entirely new industry of international door-to-door express service in the Pacific Basin.
Steady expansion continued in the 1970's as DHL initiated service to Europe (1974), Latin America (1977), the Middle East (1978) and Africa (1978). The international delivery company was the first to bring air express to the Eastern Bloc countries in 1983 and to the People's Republic of China in 1986.
DHL: Today
DHL's rapid growth reflects the globalization of trade. As our customers expand into international markets, DHL is there to meet their needs. Today, DHL is the world's largest and most experienced international air express network with service to 120,000 destinations in more than 220 countries and territories.
DHL maintains its position as the world's leading international air express network by continually expanding and upgrading its network of offices, hubs and gateways, and by offering superior service through a well-trained and dedicated work force.
More than 5,000 offices support DHL's extensive worldwide coverage. Of that total, over two-thirds are owned and operated by DHL, far greater than any other company in the air express industry. As a result, DHL has a significant advantage over other air express carriers who use more third party agents in the foreign countries they serve.
DHL is also a licensed customs broker in more than 140 countries. These advantages result in faster transit times, streamlined customs clearance, effective tracking of shipments and simplified billing.
DHL operates an unmatched global system of 118 hubs and 238 gateways. This allows for the rapid and efficient movement of shipments, resulting in fast, reliable and cost-efficient service. There are 250 aircraft operating for or on behalf of DHL. This gives DHL the flexibility to use the fastest possible means of transportation to any given destination.
As important as these facilities and equipment are to supporting DHL's global network, it is the worldwide team of more than 150,000 professionals whose commitment to anticipating, understanding and meeting each customer's unique shipping needs that makes DHL the industry leader.
