Deutsche Post experiences problems with integration of US activities of DHL

Posted by | Nov 29, 2005 | |

Deutsche Post has experienced problems with the integration of the US activities of DHL, its express and logistics subsidiary, after reducing the number of hubs it uses for its air freight operations in the US from two to one. This led to a delay in some deliveries, as a result of which the company lost customers and registered a drop in turnover in September and October. The company says that the drop in turnover totalled USD280m, which corresponds to 5 to 6 per cent of its overall turnover in the US. DHL says that it has since compensated for this setback, although it took until mid-October to return to the same level of service as before the integration of these activities.

TNT Express invests USD 810,000 in new facilities at Abu Dhabi and Al Ain

Posted by | Nov 29, 2005 | |

TNT Express today announced that it is investing USD810,000 in new facilities in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain (UAE) to establish closer links with its customers and provide them with a greater variety of products. The facilities – to open by the end of the year – are a direct response to TNT’s growth in the Emirates region, as Abu Dhabi in particular, strives to expand at the same rate as Dubai. With the high street outlet in Al Ain offering a full range of products, services and sales staff to provide assistance, the aim is also to serve the increasing needs of our customers. “Many of TNT’s regular customers operate from branches in Al Ain, so this new office will facilitate better communications, performance and delivery,” said Mark Pell, TNT Managing Director, Gulf. “Historically we have serviced Al Ain from Dubai but now we are looking to provide local resources to this market. TNT’s new outlet will establish the company’s presence in Al Ain and will be followed by additional facilities over the next twelve months”, continued Pell.

DHL to hit US goals

Posted by | Nov 28, 2005 | |

Germany’s Deutsche Post still expects its DHL unit to meet its long-term goals in the United States despite a negative financial impact from the integration of its air operations at Wilmington, Ohio. The company said on Monday that although the September hub integration was a disappointment, the effects should not be enough to cause a long-term deviation from the division’s overall financial objectives. “Despite inevitable temporary setbacks, the progress being made in the US leaves us confident that our overall strategy and direction are correct, and that long-term objectives can be met,” Deutsche Post said in a statement released at a capital markets presentation in New York and quoted by Reuters. The company added that “trading conditions remain competitively tough but relatively stable.”
