Transsion chooses DHL as air freight solutions provider
Mobile phone manufacturers Transsion Holdings has chosen DHL Global Forwarding as its air freight solutions provider. With the contract, DHL provides air freight services from Transsion’s manufacturing base in South China to 28 countries around the world across Asia, the Middle East and Africa. In addition, DHL Global Forwarding provides sea freight for Transsion products into India, where it also provides warehousing services to support the company’s new foray into the India market.
Transsion Holdings sold 59 million cell phone units in 2015 through its brands Tecno, itel and Infinix. The high tech company, which has carved a strong market presence in Africa, specializes in R&D, production, sale and services for mobile communication products. The company is actively expanding its international footprint across emerging markets.
Offering an end-to-end solution, DHL’s airfreight services transport Transsion mobile devices and spare parts from Hong Kong into both India and Africa, with additional value added services such as customs clearance and truck delivery to Transsion warehouses. The solution is further supported by ocean freight coverage from Shenzhen, China to Dubai, Saudi Arabia, India and across Africa – including Guinea, Ghana and Tanzania – to ensure additional scalability.
