DHL Express sees revenue booster in Asia Pacific

Posted by | Feb 8, 2006 | |

DHL Express expects its express delivery business in Malaysia to record double-digit revenue growth this year, in line with forecasts for the rest of Asia Pacific. Its senior vice-president for South-East Asia Yasmin Aladad Khan said last year DHL’s operations in Asia Pacific performed “extremely well”. “We expect (revenue growth for) 2006 to be the same if not better than last year’s. This is because Asia Pacific is the engine to drive future growth in the global air cargo market, and South-East Asia, in which Malaysia is part of, is going to benefit from it,” she told a news conference after the launch of DHL Express (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd’s new facility at Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang last week.

Renewed thrust for DHL: delivery firm says it has fixed infrastructure and will attack UPS-FedEx duopoly anew

Posted by | Feb 7, 2006 | |

The challenger came on strong last year with a splashy, USD150 million ad blitz that portrayed its bright yellow fleet as a reliable alternative to UPS and FedEx. DHL, long the dominant small-package carrier outside the United States, was determined to break into the domestic duopoly of UPS and FedEx which, together, control 80 percent of deliveries in the world’s largest market. It’s been a bumpy road so far. A series of breakdowns in DHL’s domestic delivery network stranded huge numbers of US packages last fall, lowered on-time deliveries to levels company officials called “totally unacceptable” and cost UD280 million in lost revenue. Now, with its infrastructure problems apparently fixed, DHL plans another major ad campaign during the Winter Olympics aimed at wresting market share from its American rivals. “Our strategy going forward is totally unchanged, and it’s beginning to bear fruit,” said John Pearson, DHL’s executive vice president. “We’re challenging the duopoly here with a flexible, responsive and more human approach – and the reaction from customers has been very favorable.”

DHL breaks ground on new Service Center Facility in US Salt Lake City

Posted by | Jan 30, 2006 | |

DHL today announced plans to expand its operations in Salt Lake City and construct a new service center facility at the Salt Lake City International Airport. The UD4.3 Million Investment includes construction of a 62,000-sq.-ft facility at the airport to serve Salt Lake City and surrounding areas for pickup, delivery and sorting operations. DHL currently has a “pass-through” ramp operation at the airport, where packages are off-loaded from its dedicated aircraft and shuttled to its existing service center in West Valley City, Utah. Construction started this month on a larger service center that will consolidate both facilities, strategically located at the airport, which will result in earlier delivery times and later drop off cut-off times for local customers. “By expanding the size of our current service center, DHL will be positioned to accommodate a decade of growth in the Salt Lake City area,” said Michael Epeneter, Senior Vice President of Operations at DHL.
