摘要

But Chairman Klaus Zumwinkel has bought some independence from economic stagnation at home with $18 billion worth of acquisitions, most prominently DHL International. Now his air and ground forces have launched a U.S. invasion under the DHL banner—right into the teeth of a FedEx-UPS duopoly that holds 79% of this market.
