A HISTORY OF INNOVATION.
We have always been revolutionizing, shaping, and simplifying the world of logistics. From inventing the international air express industry to becoming the world’s leading logistics company; we’re thinkers, makers and pioneers that constantly challenge what’s possible. And now we’re tackling the ultimate border: delivering to the moon.
In 1969, the year Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon, DHL began to revolutionize the world of logistics. Now, we are breaking new ground again: in cooperation with space technology company Astrobotic, we will make deliveries to the moon a reality.
A Breakthrough Idea: DHL Creates the International Air Express Industry
Just months after Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon in 1969, Adrian Dalsey, Larry Hillblom and Robert Lynn founded DHL – the world’s first international door-to-door delivery service. Their simple, yet groundbreaking idea was to deliver shipping documents by air, so they would arrive at customs before the freight itself. This saved shipping companies days or even weeks – and DHL had just invented the international air express industry.
Becoming the World’s Largest Logistics Company.
Soon after its formation, DHL enjoyed rapid growth around the globe. Today, DHL is the world’s largest logistics company with over 600,000 employees and offices in over 220 countries and territories.
