DHL opens its EEMEA premises in Bahrain

Posted by | Apr 13, 2008 | |

DHL officially opened its Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa (EEMEA) premises in Bahrain.

The move follows an extensive expansion of the sales team and the centralisation of resources in Bahrain to allow the company to be closer to its markets and enhance customer response times.

A team of specialists has relocated to Bahrain over the past year from across the DHL international network. Operations at the new office began on March 1 and the facility is now fully functional with a total of 32 staff.

“It is a great pleasure to have our sales and commercial teams for Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa centralised in Bahrain,” said Sales Director David Wilson.

“As the Middle East is the biggest area in our region, and Bahrain has held a strategic position at the centre of our business in the Middle East for 30 years, it is a natural move to consolidate operations here.

“With an excellent transport infrastructure and a high-quality living environment, this move is popular with all.”

He said EEMEA was one of the fastest growing regions for DHL, which had a 40 per cent market share.

DHL UAE switches to eco-friendly courier bags

Posted by | Apr 11, 2008 | |

DHL Express announced that the company will replace its regular plastic bags with new environmentally-friendly bags.

The new bags are not only stronger but are also fully reusable and recyclable and can degrade in as little as two years, leaving behind just natural elements: water, carbon dioxide and biomass. Conventional plastic bags, on the other hand, can take up to one thousand years to degrade; increasing landfill volume and contributing to the hazardous build-up of methane in landfill sites.

The switch to biodegradable bags is part of DHL’s worldwide initiative to reduce its environmental footprint across the 220 countries in which it operates. The move comes at a time when the most recent industry research indicates that the Middle East region and the UAE in particular, has an urgent need to focus on environmental sustainability.
