OUR HISTORY

In 1969 DHL was founded and established in the United States of America. With Deutsche Post taking full ownership of DHL International in 2002 and then acquiring Exel Supply Chain in 2003, DHL Supply Chain was formed. Since then, DHL Supply Chain has grown to become the largest contract logistics provider in the world and a market leader in Australian 3rd party logistics. See how DHL Supply Chain has evolved over the past 20 years in Australia.
