DHL Supply Chain will now provide its full range of services in the UAE, adding to the cross-border transportation, forwarding, and freight services already offered by DHL Global Forwarding. The expanded services will cover multiple sectors, including technology, automotive, aviation, energy, engineering, manufacturing, e-commerce, fashion, and luxury goods.
As part of this transition, DHL Supply Chain will take over the operation of seven facilities previously managed by DHL Global Forwarding.
“DHL Supply Chain will now take over seven facilities from the DHL Global Forwarding portfolio and will directly operate them under their own brand, managing operations with a team of 600 dedicated logistics professionals,” said Amadou Diallo, CEO for DHL Global Forwarding, Middle East and Africa.
The transfer is expected to ensure service continuity for existing customers. Hendrik Venter, CEO of DHL Supply Chain in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, confirmed that “the seamless transfer will ensure that existing customer relationships and operations remain uninterrupted, with no major changes in customer interactions.”
The integration of Danzas AEI Emirates into DHL Global Forwarding earlier this year improved service efficiency across the UAE, GCC, and MEA regions. This latest transfer aims to enhance further DHL’s contract logistics offerings to meet the supply chain demands of multinational and SME customers in the region.
