US EditionEvri tie-up with DHL’s UK parcel arm being probed by competition watchdog
- Evri announced last month its agreement to merge with DHL’s UK ecommerce business, creating a larger delivery firm led by Evri CEO Martijn de Lange.
- This merger follows a series of logistics sector consolidations, and the UK Competition and Markets Authority has started investigating the deal to assess its impact.
- The agreement will combine over 30,000 couriers and van drivers along with 12,000 additional employees into a single entity, which is expected to handle in excess of one billion parcels and an equal number of letters annually, while DHL will take a substantial minority ownership in Evri.
- The CMA is currently collecting comments on the merger’s competitive effects until the June 25 deadline before formally launching its investigation.
- The combined company aims to offer more choices, cost-effective solutions, and expanded import capabilities, but the CMA will evaluate whether the merger reduces competition substantially.
