Posted by | Oct 13, 2005 | |

China will account for as much as three quarters of DHL Express’s Asia-Pacific revenue in five years, up from more than 45 percent now, a senior executive said on Thursday. Asked about China’s contribution to Asian revenue, Jerry Hsu, DHL’s president for Greater China and Korea, told Reuters: “Hopefully, we will (have) at least 70 to 75 percent five years down the road. We have over 45 percent currently”. DHL, the express subsidiary of Deutsche Post World Net, expects revenue there to grow by more than half this year on top of 50 to 60 percent growth last year. “If GDP grows 8 to 9 percent, international express is going 30 to 40 percent, and we always aim to equal or grow faster than the market,” said Scott Price, DHL’s Asia-Pacific chief executive. DHL posted 3.4 billion euros (USD4.1 billion) of revenue in Asia in 2004, versus more than 24 billion euros worldwide, according to the latest figures provided in materials on Thursday.

Deutsche Post CEO Zumwinkel disappointed with DHL integration in France, UK

Posted by | Oct 13, 2005 | |

Deutsche Post AG chief executive Klaus Zumwinkel said he is disappointed with the integration of DHL in France and the UK, according to an interview to be published in Handelsblatt tomorrow.

But Zumwinkel said he has taken steps to speed up the process, including sacking the head of UK operations.

Deutsche Post acquired DHL in 2002, and has successfully completed the integration of the unit at its German and Dutch operations.

The matter is significant because Deutsche Post must now focus on integrating Exel Plc, which it agreed to acquire for 5.5 bln eur last month.

Overall, Zumwinkel said Deutsche Post’s biggest upcoming challenge will be to ensure that its logistics operations grow at the same pace as the overall market.
