DHL forwarding division expands in China
DHL’s freight forwarding division, DHL Global Forwarding, has opened three new branches in inland China that will give the integrator greater access to and from the hinterland.
The three new branches are Changsha in Hunan Province, Hefei in Anhui Province and Changchun in Jilin province, all second tier cities in inland China with booming economies and great potential in manufacturing, electronics and the automotive industries.
In the past few years, over USD 30 million worth of investments have been made by DHL Global Forwarding in China to consolidate its market leading position. To further strengthen the position and maintain sustainable growth, an additional USD 20 million will be invested in the next few years.
The new branches will offer DHL Global Forwarding’s international freight forwarding services, such as international airfreight, international ocean freight, trucking and customs clearance, in addition to domestic airfreight, which is one of the key service offerings that will provide support for customers with pan-China distribution capabilities from central and western areas.
With the opening of the three new branches, the network of DHL Global Forwarding China expands to 26 cities, with 47 locations across China, including 40 branch offices and seven representative offices.
