DHL to Capitalize on Global Trade
DHL Express aims to capitalize on developments in global trade in the coming years with its
unparalleled network in 220 countries and territories.
Because of increasing eCommerce, markets in Europe, the US and Asia are registering continuous economic growth and represent a significant potential for cross-border express shipping in the consumer area.
In addition, these markets continue to form the foundation for B2B-driven logistics services for industry sectors such as automotive, life sciences and healthcare, banking, retail and technology.
“DHL Express has experienced a tremendous success story over the last ten years, where its annual top line growth has made substantial financial contributions for the Group. This development was very much driven by our dedication to quality, the uncompromising engagement of our 100,000 employees worldwide and the insane customer centric culture.”
