Corporate Divisions
EXPRESS
Single umbrella brand for express services
In the year under review, the EXPRESS Corporate Division consisted of four Business
Divisions: Express Germany and Express Europe offer high-performance products
and perfect service for parcel and express transportation in Germany and more than
20 European countries. Global Mail provides cross-border mail services with direct
links to more than 140 countries around the world. DHL’s global courier and express
dispatch activities are grouped together in the Worldwide Express Business Division.
le, strong name
DHL was included in consolidation for the first time in the year under review.
Its integration gives us the opportunity to leverage additional synergies. In order to
achieve this, we will combine all of our express and logistics activities under the DHL
brand name in fiscal year 2003. This decision reflects the brand’s extremely high
profile, and adds the vital factor of internationalism to our traditional strengths of
dependability, reliability and reputability. DHL has been active on the market for
time-critical deliveries for more than 30 years and operates a global network of bases
in more than 220 countries and territories.
We will harmonize our previously independent cross-border networks in
Europe, firstly in individual countries and then, in a second phase, within Europe as a
whole. Our goal is to establish an integrated distribution network which optimally
combines overland and air transportation across the whole of Europe. We have
already demonstrated the success of such integration with Euro Express, which is now
the largest ground-based parcel distribution network in Europe.
Our reporting structure will remain largely unaffected by these integration
measures. The most significant change affects the Eurocargo Business Unit, which will
be transferred from the LOGISTICS Corporate Division to the EXPRESS Corporate
Division as of January 1, 2003.
