About us

From humble beginnings to global market leader founded in San Francisco more than 45 years ago by three budding entrepreneurs - Adrian Dalsey, Larry Hillblom and Robert Lynn - DHL has continued to expand at a phenomenal rate. Today, it stands tall as the global market leader of the international express and logistics industry. Back in 1969, DHL took its first small steps in building for the future by personally shipping papers by airplane from San Francisco to Honolulu. The years passed and the DHL network grew ever larger, gradually reaching out to new customers in every corner of the world. At the same time, the marketplace developed and became more complex, so DHL adapted to meet the changing needs of its customers - both at global and local level. Today, DHL's international network links more than 220 countries and territories worldwide. DHL also offers unparalleled expertise in express, air and ocean freight, overland transport, contract logistics solutions as well as international mail services. From 1969 until today, the approach and dedication has remained the same. Our success has always been based around delivering excellent service for our customers. Never complacent, DHL has become a brand acknowledged for personal commitment, proactive solutions and local strength. At the heart of its success are its employees who focus on the customer's needs and provide individually customised solutions. In Sub Saharan Africa, DHL Express employees over 3500 Certified International Specialists, utilises over 1250 vehicles, over 20 airside facilities, with 5 hubs and 15 dedicated aircraft. That's the speed of Yellow.

    At the 2nd Climate Change Global Business Summit on Africa, #TEHA Group, in collaboration with DHL Africa, will present the groundbreaking Position Paper “Sustainable Infrastructure and Innovation: Building Africa’s Green Economy”.   Key insights from the report: 🛣️ sustainable infrastructure as the foundation for growth: sustainable, resilient, and inclusive infrastructure is not just an investment—it's a catalyst for Africa’s future. From energy and transport to digital networks, infrastructure must be designed to withstand climate shocks, promote social inclusivity, and drive long-term economic growth 📈 optimistic growth prospects: Sub-Saharan Africa is on a positive economic trajectory, with GDP expected to rise from 2.4% in 2023 to 4% by 2025-2026, driven by strategic infrastructure investments and strong private consumption 🍃🤖 green and digital transformation: sustainable infrastructure is key to unlocking SSA’s potential. Focused investments in renewable energy, digital infrastructure, and sustainable transport will enhance connectivity, promote regional integration, and empower local communities—laying the foundation for a resilient and inclusive economy   Sustainable infrastructure is more than a construction challenge—it's about creating systems that deliver long-term economic, social, and environmental value. For SSA, this means developing infrastructure that is adaptive to climate risks, financially viable, and inclusive of all communities. We look forward to exploring these critical insights and transformative opportunities at the summit in Nairobi, on March 19-20, 2025, at Villa Rosa Kempinski. #ClimateChangeAfrica2025 #sustainability #infrastructures
