Posted by | Jun 22, 2006 | |

Managers at DHL Express have claimed that the company is losing up to (pounds sterling) 2m a month.

Sources blame rising costs and customer restlessness and say several large, long-standing accounts have been lost.

There has been little evidence of the proposed integration between the domestic and DHL International operations going ahead, they say.

The comments are made this week in response to Motor Transport’s story last week about a pay and bonus freeze for managers.

US express challenge for Deutsche Post

Posted by | May 11, 2006 | |

Deutsche Post has called the turnaround in its US express service business one of the major challenges for the next year. Chief executive Klaus Zumwinkel underlined, though, that the postal and logistics group has no intention of withdrawing from the US. ‘The setbacks in 2005 in connection with the integration of the hubs do not lead to a change in direction. Rather, they lead to a strengthening of our efforts,’ he said. DHL’s US express business suffered a loss of EUR400m (USD512m) last year, which was less than a year earlier but more than expected. Mr Zumwinkel underlined that as a global logistics player, a presence on this market was inevitable. 20% of Deutsche Post’s express volumes were coming from or destined for the US. The chief executive added that the division should be profitable from 2009.
