The acquisition of the Swiss logistics provider Danzas and the largest American service provider in the field of international airfreight, Air Express International (AEI), by Deutsche Post, happened in 1999. Founded in 1815, the prestigious Danzas group was regarded as one of the world's leading logistics companies. With approximately 29,000 employees at the time of acquisition, Danzas had a strong logistics network on all continents. In July 2011, DHL acquired Tag Worldwide, an international provider of marketing execution and production services. In 2017, DHL sold the combined Williams Lea Tag business to Advent International. In May 2018, DHL Supply Chain strengthened its presence in Latin America by acquiring Colombian logistics company Suppla Group. At the time of the acquisition, Suppla employed over 4,500 employees in 25 cities of Colombia.

DHL Supply Chain is organized into six regions: North America, South America, APAC (Asia Pacific), Greater China, MLEMEA (Mainland Europe, Middle East, and Africa), and UK&I (United Kingdom and Ireland). The Exel brand was retained for North America (USA and Canada), with the headquarters for the region in Westerville, Ohio. In 2016, the Exel brand transitioned DHL Supply Chain for the North America region. DHL Supply Chain trades in six focus sectors: AEMCE (Automotive, Engineering, Manufacturing, Chemical and Energy) Consumer, Retail, Technology, Service Logistics, Life Sciences and Healthcare.

Consumer and Retail are two of DHL Supply Chain's largest sectors. Both of these offer major growth potential for the division, since DHL manages the supply chains all the way from the source of supply to the end customer. Services in these sectors range from international inbound logistics and warehouse and transport services, to packaging and other value added services.

In the Technology sector, DHL Supply Chain's portfolio of offerings ranges from inbound to manufacturing services and warehouse and transport services to integrated packaging, returns management and technical services.

In 2011, DHL Supply Chain acquired Eurodifarm, a specialist in the controlled temperature distribution of pharmaceutical and diagnostic products. The purchase was made to strengthen DHL Supply Chain's market leadership in Italy in this sector. In England, DHL Supply Chain operated the NHS Supply Chain for the National Health Service until April 2019. It has a contract for patient transport services in North London and has been criticised for poor response times to patients wanting to book a service and for refusing disabled people permission to bring an escort. The Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust oversees the call centre.

The Automotive industry is one of DHL Supply Chain's global sectors. The company has a strong presence in emerging markets such as China, India and Brazil.

The fast growing Energy sector is another market in which the DHL divisions provide logistics for both the build and run phases of major projects.

In the UK, DHL Supply Chain first won the Prison Retail Service contract in 2008; in 2022 it was reported that the company had won the contract again and that it would run until at least 2025. The contract involves supplying prisoners with their weekly 'canteen' purchases of toiletries and groceries, as well as employing and training prisoners to work in prison workshops that deliver the service.

In the Supply Chain business, DHL Supply Chain provides customers in many industry sectors with logistics services along the entire supply chain – from planning, sourcing, production, storage and delivery to returns logistics and value added services – in order to ensure logistics flow. DHL Supply Chain offers warehousing, distribution, managed transport and value added services as well as business process outsourcing, supply chain management and consulting. DHL Supply Chain's goal is to ensure that their customers' products and information reach their markets quickly and efficiently, thus securing them competitive advantages. This increase was fueled in particular by strong growth in the Asia Pacific region as well as in the Life Sciences & Healthcare and Automotive sectors. Additional contracts worth EUR 1.3 billion were concluded in 2011, an increase of around EUR 200 million versus the previous year. Combined with additional operating improvements and strict cost management, increased business activity drove up the division's earnings in 2011. At EUR 362 million, the operating earnings were 56.7 percent above the previous year's level of EUR 231 million.
