DHL REAFFIRMS ITS PRESENCE IN TANZANIA "Credit News 24"

DHL Tanzania Limited Managing Director, Mr. Femi Olaiya, speaks to reporters in Dar es Salaam on Wednesday regarding the improvement of infrastructure and technology for sustainable operation in Tanzania. Looking on is Mr. Thabit Mndeme, Country Commercial Manager.

A Global leader in courier and express services provider, DHL Express, has reaffirmed its commitment to Tanzania which it describes as a key growth market in the East African region given its stable economy growth, political stability and conducive business environment.

The commitment by the company comes after players in the logistics were thrown into confusion after reports that one of DHL Express sister-company, DHL Global Forwarding (DGF) had ceased operations in Tanzania.

“DGF is another business division of our parent company Deutsche Post DHL Group; DHL Express is a separate legal entity and is no way affected by the change,” the DHL Managing Director for Tanzania, Mr Femi Olaiya, said during a media briefing on Wednesday.

As the government of Tanzania embarks on the Five-Year-Development-Plan spanning 2016/17-2020/2021, the company was confident that Tanzania is headed towards improved economy with improvement of infrastructure and fiscal performance.

“As the market leader in express logistics, we will continue to invest in our people, equipment and facilities in order to best meet the demands of our customers. With a network spanning over 220 countries anyone can leverage our capabilities with great ease and convenience,” he explained.

Mr Olaiya explained that with the global focus on business to customer (B2C) approach there were opportunities for small and medium enterprises as well as established companies to capitalize on cross-boarder ecommerce opportunities.

At the same media briefing, DHL Express Tanzania’s Country Commercial Manager, Mr Thabit Mndeme, said the company has a network of 123 retail partners across the country.

“An assessment conducted three years ago showed that our company controlled over 70 per cent of the market share in Tanzania; we aim to maintain the share and expend it even more,” Mr Mndeme explained.

DHL Express opened shop in Tanzania 29 years ago and ever since it has invested in its workforce, infrastructure and technology as it seeks to improve efficiency in its operations through e-commerce.
