The company announced Tuesday that supply chain units of German parcel and logistics giant DHL have received IDS fulfillment to support e-commerce service products for small and medium-sized customers in the United States.

The deal provides over 1.3 million square feet of public warehouses for public warehouses and distribution space under the DHL umbrella, including facilities in Indianapolis, Salt Lake City, Atlanta, Atlanta and Plainfield, Indiana, where IDS is based. DHL Supply Chain also acquires a wide range of client portfolios, including small and medium-sized enterprises as well as realization expertise.

DHL said it will retain IDS's local managers to ensure service continuity for customers. Terms of sale are not disclosed.

“E-commerce has been a driving force for DHL’s growth in recent years and is an important focus of our 2030 agenda,” Patrick Kelleher, CEO of DHL Supply Chain North America, said in a press release. “The acquisition of ID fulfillment not only expands our operational footprint, but also ensures that small and medium-sized companies have access to the state-of-the-art logistics solutions we design for their specific requirements.”

IDS represents the second e-commerce acquisition of DHL's supply chain this year. In January, it acquired INMAR supply chain solutions in North Carolina, the largest reverse logistics provider for North American e-commerce retailers.

This marks the second e-commerce acquisition of DHL's supply chain in 2025, which acquired INMAR's reverse logistics business in January, making it the largest provider of returns processing in North America.

“As global e-commerce will grow at a CAGR of 8% per year by 2029, DHL is targeting investments to further expand our capabilities to meet the needs of this growing segment and to enable our network and solutions to make our existing DHL Ecommelt and Opecmer and Opecmer accessible to businesses of all sizes to enhance our dhl eCommes and provide “dhl ecomment” and provide “enable our capabilities” and promote “ineffectiveness”, “enable our equilt and of Unserce of Unserce of Unserce of Unserce of Unserce,” DHL Supply Chain Global CEO.

He added that the move is especially timely as more multinational companies seek to build fulfillment capabilities in North America.

The U.S. government on Friday lifted the De Minimis rules for low-value goods entering the country from China and Hong Kong, forcing e-commerce sellers to pay 145% tariffs on previously allowed individual orders without responsibility. Chinese markets, such as Temu, Shein and Alibaba, and other retailers, are setting up distribution operations in the United States, where stocks are in stock domestically or shipped in bulk to mitigate the impact of tariffs and other import costs.
