Irish arm of DHL returns to profit after scaling back domestic service

The Irish arm of global distribution giant DHL last year returned to profit.

Accounts just filed with the Companies Registration Office show pre-tax profits at DHL Express Ireland Ltd (DHLIL) totalled €1.43m after pre-tax losses of €102,000 in 2010.

The turnaround in the German-owned company’s fortunes followed DHLIL restructuring its business here in 2009 to scale back its domestic delivery service.
