DHL EXPANDS CONTRACT LOGISTICS PORTFOLIO TO THE UAE
October 16, 2024

DHL Group has announced the introduction of the DHL Supply Chain in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) through a strategic transfer of specific business operations from DHL Global Forwarding.

 

The logistics giant noted that this addresses the growing demand for holistic contract logistics offerings and will further complement the Group's existing service portfolio in the region.

 

In addition to the cross-border transportation, forwarding and freight services already provided under the Group's global forwarding division, DHL Supply Chain, a major contract logistics player, will now offer its full suite of comprehensive contract logistics services.

 

DHL announced that this move allows the company to cater to the evolving needs of customers—multinationals and SMEs—for warehousing, fulfilment, and aftermarket services in various sectors, including technology, automotive, aviation, energy, engineering and manufacturing, and e-commerce, as well as the fashion and luxury sectors.

 

Hendrik Venter, CEO of DHL Supply Chain in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, emphasizes the importance of the transition. The seamless transfer will ensure that existing customer relationships and operations remain uninterrupted, with no major changes in customer interactions.

 

"With the increasing demand for comprehensive end-to-end supply chain solutions, expanding our contract logistics portfolio in this fast-growing region was a natural progression. Our established presence as a leader in forwarding and freight services now allows us to extend our contract logistics capabilities in the UAE even further," Venter said.

 

Amadou Diallo, CEO of DHL Global Forwarding Middle East and Africa, noted that earlier this year, the company also completed the integration of Danzas AEI Emirates into DHL Global Forwarding, significantly improving service efficiency across the UAE, GCC, and MEA regions.

 

"Building on this success, DHL Supply Chain will now take over seven facilities from the DHL Global Forwarding portfolio and will directly operate them under their own brand ... It is just a logical consequence that those DHL customers that developed larger contract logistics needs will now be managed by our contract logistics division, DHL Supply Chain," he added.

 

This business transfer underscores DHL's dedication to meeting the complex supply chain demands of its customers in the region.

 

DHL noted that by leveraging the strengths of DHL Supply Chain, the Group is positioned to now offer its full range of products and services, delivering maximum value to its customers in the region.
