The sky is not the limit
A giant leap for logistics

In 1969, Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon. This was a giant leap for mankind. Just a few months later, three different pioneers – Adrian Dalsey, Larry Hillblom, and Robert Lynn – created another legendary moment. They founded DHL: the first international delivery service. This was a smart initiative that grew into the largest logistics company in the world. How did they do this? By always continuing to push the boundaries, even today. And now we’re tackling the ultimate border: delivering to the moon. A mission that Neil would be proud of.
