DHL opens new hub in UAE
DHL has further expanded its presence in the UAE with the announcement of a new logistics facility opening in the Hamriyah Free Zone in Sharjah.
DHL is the first courier company to set up an office in the Free Zone and the first to pass on to UAE customers the cost efficiencies of duty free clearance and reduced transit times as a result of the new facility.
The DHL Express facility will provide bonded, or duty free, facilities to customers wishing to import or export shipments across the GCC. With the UAE one of the two strategic hubs in the Middle East, the new facility further strengthens DHL’s commitment to the region and its position as the leading regional logistics company.
“The opening of this facility in the Hamriyah Free Zone is a response to increasing demand from customers for a logistics solution which will reduce costs and time taken for shipments to and from Sharjah. The opening of this new facility will enable our customers to benefit from duty free import and export shipments, and will provide us with the competitive advantage of being the only courier company in the Hamriyah Free Zone to offer this service,” said Derek Tully, operations manager, DHL Express UAE.
