DHL's history
In 1969, three American young men founded DHL International: Adrian Dalsey, Larry Hillblom e Robert Lynn. They had the brilliant intuition to personally ship papers by airplane from California to Hawaii, beginning customs clearance of the ship's cargo before the actual arrival of the ship and dramatically reducing waiting time in the harbour.

This acquisition allowed Deutsche Post World Net to start an integration and development program (STAR) between its express and logistics societies: DHL Worldwide Express, Danzas, Deutsche Post Euro Express and the Italian Casa di Spedizione Ascoli.
In 2003, Deutsche Post World Net consolidated all its express and logistics activities into one single brand, DHL.
