Armstrong & Associates’ Evaluation:

DHL Logistics is the world’s largest 3PL. Its DHL Exel Supply Chain is by far the largest contract logistics operation. North American revenues for DHL/Exel contract logistics are $4.2 billion with 386 warehouses and 75 million square feet of space. Global forwarding grew through the acquisition of highly respected companies like Danzas. DHL and Danzas are strong brands in Europe and Asia. John Allan has successfully led the integration of Exel and DHL’s contract logistics operations. DHL/Exel has operations of virtually every kind. A major initiative over the last few years involves expansion into contract manufacturing and packaging. Exel Transportation, the brokerage/IMC operation, has turnover of $770 million with $115 million in net revenue.
