In a move to expand its service offering for small and midsize enterprises (SMEs), DHL Supply Chain has acquired e-commerce fulfillment and retail distribution logistics provider IDS Fulfillment.
The acquisition adds over 1,300,000m2 of multi-customer warehouse and distribution space located across the USA to support SMEs with their logistics needs. This is the second e-commerce acquisition for DHL Supply Chain in 2025, having acquired Inmar’s reverse logistics business in January, making it the largest returns processing provider in North America.
“E-commerce has been a growth driver for DHL in recent years and is an important focus in our Strategy 2030 agenda,” confirmed Patrick Kelleher, CEO of DHL Supply Chain North America. “The acquisition of IDS Fulfillment not only expands our operational footprint but also ensures small and midsized companies have access to our state-of-the-art logistics solutions designed for their specific requirements.”
Mark DeFabis, CEO of IDS Fulfillment, added, “We believe that DHL’s commitment to innovation and service excellence makes them the ideal partner to enhance our operations and deliver industry-leading capabilities to our customers and team members.”
