DHL opens office in Novosibirsk – Russia
Further expansion of the Service Point network is part of DHL continued business development strategy in Russia. Late in 2006, the company announced its plans to open 21 additional offices in the country’ s biggest cities, investing over USD 15 million in the next 3 years.
In May, the carrier opened two new offices in Moscow and one in St. Petersburg and is expanded services at a fast rate.
The expansion is part of a USD 250 million investment in the country over the next 3-4 years, announced by parent company DPWN last June.
The investments are focused on infrastructure and facilities, further expansion of the product portfolio, introduction of the latest technologies and staff training.
DHL Russia is also expanding its domestic road network, which includes purpose-built new cross-docking terminals in key locations that will connect the key economic centres of the country.
All four DHL businesses in Russia, DHL Express, DHL Freight, DHL Global Forwarding and DHL Exel Supply Chain will benefit from the investment, the company said.
