DHL Express expects China-related revenue to grow at least 45 per cent this year as more mainland manufacturers shift to producing high-technology commodities such as electronics and computer peripherals, according to a senior company executive. Scott Price, the new chief executive for Asia Pacific, said the company’s China sales grew 50 per cent to 60 per cent last year as it moved the greatest share of the mainland’s international express cargo, which analysts say is expected to reach USD1.2 billion this year. “We are very confident that our calculations on China market share are correct and we think we’re No1 at 40 per cent,” Mr Price told the South China Morning Post. “The fact that we are growing at these extraordinary levels reflects China’s move to more hi-tech manufacturing than it has ever produced before.”

DHL has signed up as a sponsor of the East Asian Games, which will be held in Macau in October. The sponsorship will provide DHL with brand exposure at the venues of the games, as well as collaterals, an official website and publicity at media events. The company, which is the official logistics partner of Formula One, also sponsors Hong Kong Rugby Tens in Hong Kong, Sri Lanka Rugby Sevens Tournament, Thailand Tennis Open. “This sponsorship will see DHL strengthening its sports sponsorship commitment in the Asia-Pacific region,” said Kelly Yu, GM at DHL Express Hong Kong.
