DHL eCommerce UK and Evri to merge and form new group
DHL Group has announced the acquisition of a significant minority stake in Evri, and with it the formation of a new group merging both the UK parcel company and DHL eCommerce UK. Operating under the name Evri Premium, which will serve as a network of DHL eCommerce, the newly created group will remain a 'dedicated and secure, separate network that will offer fast, time-sensitive deliveries with enhanced shipping security protection for high-value and large items for B2B and B2C parcel services'. The group will include an expanded international capability for inbound and outbound parcels, building on Evri's own international network while making use of DHL eCommerce's cross-border shipping expertise in Europe, the US and select Asian markets, like India. Through the merger, Evri will also be entering the UK business letter market for the first time, expanding the options for businesses sending lighter-weight items. In a release, Martijn de Lange, CEO of Evri, said: "By combining Evri's scale, innovation and DHL eCommerce's best-in-class premium van network, we are creating the pre-eminent parcel delivery group in the UK. Over the last decade Evri has grown ten-fold in size and this transaction will further expand our access into the European and global e-commerce markets.'

Evri merges with DHL UK ecommerce arm to form parcel giant
German-owned DHL Group will acquire a 'significant minority stake' in Evri as part of the deal. The two operations, which will operate as Evri Group, will bring together more than 30,000 couriers and van drivers, and 12,000 further workers. Evri, which was previously part of the Hermes parcel group, was snapped up by US private equity firm Apollo for around £2.7 billion last year. Apollo will remain the majority shareholder in the business. The combined company will deliver more than one billion parcels and one billion letters each year, the firms said. They said the merger will offer 'greater choice and cost-competitive solutions' to businesses and consumers, and expand import and export capabilities. The deal will also see Evri entering the UK business letter market for the first time, bolstering its competition to Royal Mail. Martijn de Lange, chief executive of Evri, said: 'We are excited that DHL ecommerce UK will merge with Evri to bring together two highly complementary UK businesses, committed to innovation and offering customers and clients the best possible service. 'By combining Evri's scale, innovation and DHL ecommerce's best-in-class premium van network, we are creating the pre-eminent parcel delivery group in the UK.' Pablo Ciano, chief executive of DHL ecommerce, said: 'DHL ecommerce and Evri both stand for top service quality, reliability and sustainability, which makes this partnership a great fit for our customers. 'Together, we'll be able to offer more efficient, far-reaching and innovative solutions to keep up with the fast-paced e-commerce market.'
