DHL buys second North American e-commerce firm in 2025

Acquisition of Indiana-based IDS Fulfillment adds 1.3 million square feet of multi-customer DC space in Indiana, Utah, and Georgia.

The German logistics solutions provider DHL Supply Chain today said it has acquired Plainfield, Indiana-based e-commerce fulfillment and retail distribution logistics provider IDS Fulfillment, marking the second e-commerce purchase in North America for DHL in 2025.

The buyout follows DHL Supply Chain’s January purchase of Inmar’s reverse logistics business, which made it the largest returns processing provider in North America.

Now, this latest acquisition adds over 1.3 million square feet of multi-customer warehouse and distribution space at IDS’ facilities in Indianapolis, Indiana, Salt Lake City, Utah, Atlanta, Geogia, and Plainfield, Indiana.

DHL said it made the move as more multi-national organizations are seeking to establish fulfillment capabilities 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,” Patrick Kelleher, CEO of DHL Supply Chain North America, said in a release. “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.”

Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but DHL said it will continue to operate all IDS facilities under existing local leaders.
