Dynamism and quick development at DHL Express Hungary

Posted by | Oct 29, 2007 | |

2007 is the year of change and expansion in the life of DHL Express Hungary. Three important departments moved together: the Ground distribution centre (Gyömröi út), the Inbound operation base (Besence utca) and the Corporate office (Kocsis utca). The integration supports both the permanent improvements and the expansion of services.

Moreover, DHL Express expanded its morning deliveries across Europe. This market leader coverage means delivering to more than 20000 zip codes across the region before noon. DHL also offers a money back guarantee for these time definite shipments.

The company has opened its second gateway in Hungary on Sármellék (SOB) in September. The unique cut-off time (latest pick-up time) gives extra time for DHL customers for their production processes, which enables them to strengthen their position on their market. Thus, DHL Express Hungary provides the best service to its customers by supporting their power towards competition.

Thanks to the expansion of its services DHL now has a greater coverage in Europe even on road. DHL takes its Europlus product into five new Eastern European countries which are Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Russia and Greece. With Europlus, DHL offers a cost-efficient solution that provides reliable and convenient delivery of less urgent single parcel, multiple parcel and pallet shipments. In 2008 this service will be further extended to Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Croatia and Ukraine.
