DHL Global Forwarding, the freight specialist arm of the DHL Group, has completed the acquisition of shares in Danzas AEI Emirates, with all facilities now rebranded to DHL.
The full integration not only brings a transformation in logo and name but also enhances operational capabilities with the transfer of 1,100 logistics experts and ownership of over 20 facilities.
This will result in more efficient and seamless logistics services for customers in the UAE, GCC, and MEA (Middle East and Africa) region. With this integration, DHL Global Forwarding solidifies its position as a market leader in freight forwarding and logistics in Dubai, further accelerating the growth of the logistics business in the MEA region. In 2022, DHL Group generated a revenue of €4,161 million in the region.
Amadou Diallo, CEO of DHL Global Forwarding Middle East, and Africa said: “Our integration with Danzas AEI Emirates paves the way for strengthened logistics operations in the GCC and MEA. We are proud to carry the Danzas lineage forward and build on its distinction as the leading logistics provider in Dubai and the Northern Emirates.”
“This acquisition will allow us to marry the best of both worlds – DHL’s global expertise with Danzas’ local heritage to foster innovation and sustainability, and create value for our customers, employees, and stakeholders.”
