DHL launches supply chain services in UAE - Parcel and Postal Technology International

DHL Group has announced the introduction of DHL Supply Chain in the United Arab Emirates, enabling it to deliver end-to-end supply chain solutions to customers in the region.

The company has transferred specific business operations from DHL Global Forwarding to enable it to offer its full suite of comprehensive contract logistics services alongside its existing cross-border transportation, forwarding and freight services.

DHL Supply Chain will cater to the evolving needs of customers for warehousing, fulfillment and aftermarket services in various sectors, including technology, automotive, aviation, energy, engineering and manufacturing, and e-commerce, as well as in the fashion and luxury sectors.

Hendrik Venter, CEO of DHL Supply Chain in Europe, Middle East and Africa, explained, “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.”

Amadou Diallo, CEO for DHL Global Forwarding Middle East and Africa, added, “Earlier this year, we 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, managing operations with a team of 600 dedicated logistics professionals.

“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.”
