DHL spreads network in booming China

Posted by | Apr 18, 2007 | |

DHL announced recently it would invest a further USD110 million into infrastructure in China to meet the country’s continuing huge economic growth.

New Zealand DHL Express general manager Derek Anderson says the country is one of the fastest-growing markets within the company’s global network.

More than half of DHL’s total investment in the Asia Pacific region has been in China in the past five years.

DHL now has a freight and logistics network covering 318 cities across the country.

With multiple dialects throughout the country, the continued expansion means language has been one of the more difficult and ongoing hurdles to overcome.

He says the Chinese government’s approach has changed considerably in the past 20 years. It has moved from a closed and highly bureaucratic system to one in which the benefits of the growing economy from the main centres is shared across the country.

This directive has led DHL to venture westward, outside the usual key economic areas in China, establishing a presence in provinces such as Shaanxi, Yunnan and Sichuan.

The company has also opened 16 new branches. DHL Global Forwarding acquired 17 domestic airfreight licences, to give second and third-tier cities access to key economic zones so they can contribute to provincial growth.
