DHL has to shut down Ohio facility - Appel

Deutsche Post needs to shut down its DHL Ohio hub or face a loss of all its US business, Deutsche Post chief executive Frank Appel told German daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

"There is no alternative," Appel said. "Otherwise we would lose our entire express delivery business in the United States, which, at the end of the day, would cost a lot more jobs."

At issue is DHL's plans to shutter operations at a facility in Wilmington, Ohio, which could mean the loss of 8,000 jobs following DHL's proposal for UPS to handle its domestic air volume.
