“China is more resilient than other countries, although it is not totally insulated (from the recession),” Victor Mok, Greater China vice-president of DHL Supply Chain, told reporters in Shanghai, where DHL is opening a fifth hub in China.
“Despite the economic slowdown, we will still maintain an investment (in China).”
The newly opened DHL Eastern China Domestic Transportation Hub in southern Shanghai is part of a $25m investment in that district, and is DHL’s fifth such hub in China.
Another 10 new regional hubs, used to re-sort and redistribute shipments, would be in operation by the end of this year.
