  • PRESS RELEASE

DHL Supply Chain Middle East has recorded a positive performance in the first quarter of 2009 with strong double digit growth, and an improved year on year position, both in terms of Revenue and EBIT.

"The contract logistics sector remains robust and our position will grow stronger as we pursue the One DHL initiative laid out in the Group's Strategy 2015," said David Christmas, CEO Middle East, DHL Supply Chain.

"While it is essential that we manage our short-term challenges in the current economic climate, in the long term, we are focused on delivering integrated service solutions that make our customers' lives and their business easier and this is reflected in our solid performance."


Globally, the Supply Chain division reported that EBIT for the division remained stable at 34m euros for the first quarter; largely as a result of reduced overhead costs. If total restructuring charges of 8m euros were excluded from the equation, EBIT would have risen by 23.5%.

The performance consolidates DHL's position as market leader in the Middle East, where the company has been offering world-class express and logistics services to customers for over 30 years.
