Posted by | May 29, 2006 | |

Czech express delivery provider DPD said it dispatched five million deliveries within the Czech Republic last year, up 25 percent year-on-year. Sales rose by one-third thanks to a growth in the number of more expensive deliveries abroad, the company said in a press release. Sales from international deliveries more than doubled against 2004. The largest number of deliveries headed for Germany and Slovakia. The growth was due to an increase in exports after the Czech Republic joined the EU in 2004, said Daniel Mares, chief executive of DPD’s Czech branch.

DHL bets big on India, to step up new investments

Posted by | May 27, 2006 | |

DHL will continue to invest in India as a core growth market, says Scott Price, CEO, DHL Express Asia Pacific. DHL has invested over USD1.6bn in Asia Pacific so far, of which US USD250m is in India. And, more is on the way. Until the late 1990s, says Mr Price, China took a lot of time and focus. But now we are beginning to see a shift to an Asia strategy that includes both India and China. He says increasingly India is seen as a very credible place to invest in, but the lack of good infrastructure hampers proper growth. Growth for DHL in India will come from auto, computers, chips, and textiles, which are sourced increasingly from India and will need a seamless time-sensitive supply chain.
