PUTRAJAYA: DHL Express (M) Sdn Bhd aims to provide more support to local small and medium enterprises (SMEs), according to country manager Sam Leong.
“We are looking more at SMEs. We want to support them and increase our communication and interaction with them,” he said.
Speaking
at a press conference yesterday, Leong said SMEs, like large
corporations, could leverage on DHL’s sound supply chain and multiple
distribution centres in the country.
“The same
solutions (available for bigger corporations) can be downsized for SMEs
to secure new markets,” he said, adding that if was a common
misconception that DHL’s services were only for large organisations.
DHL was the leading courier service provider in the country, with a market share exceeding 40%.
To
date DHL had invested over RM21mil in its service facility at Glenmarie
and multiple retail points in Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Sarawak.
He said one of its retail points, based at the Central Market, had proven to be very successful.
“Most tourist visit the place (Central Market) and for most of them Malaysia was usually an intermediate stop,”
He
added that most of the tourist utilised DHL’s service to courier their
souvenirs home rather than carry them around on their holiday.
Going forward, Leong said DHL would leverage on its firm foundation.
“DHL already has a solid infrastructure in Malaysia. We want to enhance whar we already have.” - Starbiz, Wednesday 5 December 2007
