DHL Express mulls expansion plans in UAE

Mubasher: DHL Express plans to expand its operations in the UAE through the latest facility located in the state-of-the-art EZDubai, considered as a new addition to Dubai South’s Logistics District.

This business expansion plan will allow DHL Express to serve its existing and new customers who will be based in the newly formed free zone, in addition to those located outside EZDubai and Dubai South.

The international courier, parcel, and express mail company clarified that this latest business development coincides with DHL Express’s efforts to establish facilities with easy access to major ports and airports to guarantee a faster delivery of its services, a recent press release said.

DHL Express’s latest expansion will also confirm the company’s commitment to support the development plans of its customers across the Gulf region and beyond. 

“We welcome the company’s decision to expand their operations to EZDubai in keeping with its goal of continuous improvement. The move also reflects its confidence and trust in the state-of-the-art e-commerce hub’s ability to support its business expansion in the region,” CEO of Dubai South’s Logistics District Mohsen Ahmad commented.

EZDubai is a 3,200-sqm two-story facility that can handle rising business to consumer (B2C) exports in Dubai South, with 13 pick-up and delivery (PUD) routes to be relocated to EZDubai.

UAE Country Manager for DHL Express Geoff Walsh noted: “The Middle East logistics and e-commerce market is rapidly growing, primarily driven by the UAE, which is why we are expanding our operations to EZDubai. It aims to attract e-commerce industries, with the right regulatory framework, latest infrastructure and cost-effective warehousing capabilities. With operations at EZDubai, we will be able to connect sellers and consumers around the world with even greater speed and efficiency.”
