As a result of the strategic shift, DHL Express will close all of its U.S. ground hubs, reduce the number of stations from 412 to 103 and retain 3,000 to 4,000 U.S.-based employees who are tailored to the needs of DHL's international express customers. These measures will allow DHL Express' U.S. business to reduce its operating costs from the current $5.4 billion (4.2 billion Euros) to less than $1 billion (770 million Euros), a reduction of over 80 percent.
The measures announced today will have no impact to services offered by other DHL businesses in the U.S. such as Global Forwarding/Freight, Supply Chain/Customer Information Services (CIS) and DHL Global Mail are not affected by the current restructuring measures. With their almost 27,000 employees across the nation, these divisions will continue to develop their successful U.S. operations.
