After the transfer of DHLI stock to Po Chung and nominees,
DHLI was used for foreign operations and DHL for domestic. DHL
Operations B.V. (Ops B.V.) was incorporated in the Netherlands on
August 13, 1979, as a wholly owned subsidiary of DHLI. When
Robinson and Allen formed the Australia station under the name
Document Handling Limited, Australia, Robinson was a DHL employee
who had invested his own funds in this business. The business
founded by Robinson and Allen eventually became known as
Middlestown, N.V., a Netherlands Antilles company (MNV)
incorporated on June 26, 1979. For most of the period 1974
through September 1992, DHLI, its subsidiary, Ops B.V., and MNV
were the controlling and operational entities of the
international portion of the DHL delivery network.
For the period beginning in 1972 and extending into 1992,
DHL was responsible for handling the courier business inside the
United States, and DHLI was responsible for handling the courier
business outside the United States. Each company serviced
shipments that were: Solely within its jurisdiction; from its
jurisdiction that were bound for destinations outside its
jurisdiction; and received from outside its jurisdiction with
destination points inside its jurisdiction. DHL would also
handle shipments from outside its jurisdiction that were merely
passing through DHL’s jurisdiction on the way to another
destination that was outside DHL’s jurisdiction.
