DHL projects double-digit revenue growth in FY07

Posted by | Sep 5, 2006 | |

DHL Express has projected a double-digit revenue growth for 2006 and 2007 for its Malaysian operations, as the country continues to be one of its key markets in the Asia Pacific region, its country manager for Malaysia Sam Leong said.

He based this on DHL’s view of Malaysia being able to continue to attract investments that would benefit the company.

“(Revenue) Growth is extremely healthy. We are targeting double digit growth this year and next year,” he said at a media luncheon with DHL Express Malaysia senior management in Kuala Lumpur on Sept 5.
Leong said DHL Express, which has a 42% market share in the air express business in Malaysia, believes that it can build up its market share in certain segments.

An area, which the company hopes to develop is the retail sector where the company intends to open more of its ServicePoint outlets in the Klang Valley.

DHL recently said it would increase the number of ServicePoint outlets to 11 from the current three over the next three years in key cities in Malaysia, including converting some of the DHL centres at strategic locations.

Such outlets would help strengthen DHL’s existing network and expand its customer base, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

DHL introduces first mailbox for parcels

Posted by | Sep 5, 2006 | |

Starting today, DHL is introducing 40 Paketboxes in and around Frankfurt/Main. Here, customers can drop off their postage-paid small packages and parcels up to 20 kilograms around the clock without having to register beforehand.

The yellow Paketboxes, about one-and-a-half-meters high, can be found in heavily frequented locations and represent an additional service from the Post subsidiary that customers can use independently from retail outlet business hours. After a successful test phase, the Paketboxes will be introduced across the country.

“With the Paketbox, we are expanding the service for our private customers with an interesting alternative and demonstrate once again why DHL is the leader in the express and logistics market,” said Boris Mayer, marketing manager for private customer business at the Post subsidiary DHL Express Germany.
