Read MoreThe result of a joint effort by DHL Express Japan and Digital Oasys Inc. – a pioneer of ‘coin-operated business centers’ which provide convenient services for business travelers – this new Express Center is strategically located in the Akasaka Excel Hotel Tokyu, a convenient location in the heart of Akasaka – an area with numerous businesses and hotels.
The Akasaka Express Center is a one-minute walk from the Akasaka-mitsuke Station on the Tokyo Metro Ginza line and the Marunouchi line, providing easy access for customers to drop off and pick up their shipments on their way to work or while shopping. The DHL Akasaka Express Center is expected to meet the growing demand for convenient package and document delivery services.
DHL Japan will continue to pursue further convenience for customers through establishing Express Centers in various other convenient facilities where the demand for international express delivery services is high, centering around the business areas of major cities.
Read MoreToday DHL is opening an Express terminal at Törsjö, in Örebro, which means that forwarding companies will be able to offer even quicker deliveries than previously. DHL now hopes to attract many new customers in and around the area.
“Örebro is a central demographic point for haulage in Scandinavia because we can reach the greatest number of people within the smallest possible radius. This imposes considerable demands on the business and I am happy to announce that with the new terminal at Törsjö we can offer both existing and potential customers a high level of delivery accuracy”, says Anders Ekwall, Director of Operations at the DHL Express installation in Örebro.
Törsjö was the natural choice. Besides the fact that the area is situated away from the centre of Örebro and located close to the motorway, DHL Exel Supply Chain has already established a major storage facility in the area. This means that DHL can offer its customers even more effective freight management.
A key role in this context is played by a new method of sorting which involves all shipments to and from the Örebro terminal being sorted in accordance with a computer-generated distribution model. This allows professional drivers to make as few unnecessary journeys as possible. And as well as the reduced impact on the environment, this saves a considerable amount of time.
DHL’s new terminal was built by Peab and the land is owned by Brinova. The terminal covers an area of 7,600 qm, and has some 60 gates. The total ground area under asphalt is 28,000 qm, but DHL has an option to use an additional 10,000 qm for expansion when the need arises.
Read MoreDHL is celebrating 15 years of activity in Armenia. DHL plans to increase the number of its service centres in Armenia, said DHL Regional Director in the CIS Edward Kaspersky. Thus, four DHL offices will operate in Armenia soon.
Kaspersky pointed out that DHL services are available for about 50 pct of Armenia’s population. About 85 pct of DHL customers are legal entities, particularly, embassies, international organizations, banks, enterprises, as well as industrial companies, consulting and travel and telecommunications agencies. The share of individuals is only 15 pct. According to him, this ratio corresponds to the world practice of DHL, as the company’s services are targeted at business.
Kaspersky pointed out that the company keeps enlarging the circle of activities in Armenia.
The strategic development of DHL in Armenia is based on the optimistic economic forecasts in the country, as well as the implementation of modern technologies and personnel training.
DHL entered Armenia’s market in 1992 after signing a cooperation agreement with the UMAKS Company. At present, two DHL offices are operating in the cities of Yerevan and Vanadzor.
