DHL investing €70m to grow Asian footprint
DHL Supply Chain has announced it will invest more than €70m to grow its regional footprint in Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar by 2020. Over the next three years, DHL Supply Chain – which recently became the first logistics company to acquire an operational business license in Myanmar – plans to build new facilities, expand its fleet of trucks, and invest in new technology, creating an additional 5,000 jobs in the four countries.
“Asia-Pacific is one the most important regions for DHL Supply Chain being accountable for a significant share of our revenues in 2016. Consumer, retail and tech industries drive these developments becoming evident in increased amounts of new and extended contracts. Being already the market leader for the region it is fully natural for us to foster our commitment in the region and remaining a reliable partner,” said John Gilbert, CEO DHL Supply Chain.
