DHL Malaysia has a win-win relationship with Transmile

DHL Express (Malaysia) has not been affected by the financial debacle in Transmile Group Bhd, DHL Malaysia country manager Sam Leong said.

Despite facing internal problems, Transmile had been able to deliver on its commitment to DHL and there had been no change to DHL’s relationship with the cargo carrier, he said.

Transmile provides express air cargo service to DHL, which is also the former’s single biggest customer. Transmile has said that DHL is expected to contribute almost half of Transmile’s revenue from July 2007 to June 2008.

Leong also pointed out that the relationship was good for DHL because Transmile operated out of Subang airport.

He also revealed that he received many calls in the first few weeks when the troubles in Transmile emerged.

Transmile has since put in place a new management team, led by group managing director Wong Yoke Ming, in the aftermath of its financial debacle.

The new management team is currently developing a strategic roadmap to bring the company back to profitability in the next three to five years.
