INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, May 6, 2025 – IDS Fulfillment, a U.S.-based eCommerce fulfillment and retail distribution logistics provider, is proud to announce that it has been acquired by DHL Supply Chain, the North American contract logistics leader within Deutsche Post DHL Group.

For over 60 years, IDS has helped growing brands scale by delivering fulfillment solutions that are flexible, accurate, and built to support long-term growth. With over 1.3 million square feet of warehouse and distribution space across Indianapolis, Salt Lake City, Atlanta, and its headquarters in Plainfield, Indiana, IDS has built a network designed to support brands through every phase of growth.

The acquisition allows IDS to bring even greater value to its customers—combining its existing fulfillment strengths with DHL’s global scale, advanced technology, and deep industry expertise. DHL will continue to operate all IDS facilities under the existing local leadership to ensure a seamless transition for customers and associates.

“We believe that DHL’s commitment to innovation and service excellence makes them the ideal partner to enhance our operations and deliver industry-leading capabilities to our customers and team members,” said Mark DeFabis, CEO of IDS Fulfillment.

This acquisition is part of DHL’s broader Strategy 2030 agenda and marks its second eCommerce acquisition in 2025.

“eCommerce has been a growth driver for DHL in recent years and is an important focus in our Strategy 2030 agenda,” said Patrick Kelleher, CEO of DHL Supply Chain North America. “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.”

As IDS joins the DHL family, its mission remains the same: helping small and midsize brands scale with confidence—now with even greater tools, reach, and support.
