DHL strategy going from ‘biggest to the best’
published: cw 51, 2006 in Logistics & ShippingDeutsche Post World Net has held its latest Capital Markets day for analysts giving an insight into the latest developments and strategic focus of DHL’s Logistics division. John Allen, who previously headed up Exel and is now CEO of DHL Logistics, chaired the meeting.
One of the main themes of the meeting was that DHL had reached the second part of a three stage process. The first stage had been to ‘build a global leader’ which took place between 2000 and 2005. The second, to go from being the ‘biggest to the best’ is slated to be completed by 2010. The final stage in the development of the global giant is, according to management, to ‘re-think logistics for the 21st century’ and will last for a further 5 years.
Returning to the present, Allen provided an update on the integration of its various acquisitions. He confirmed that the company was on track to deliver the planned synergies and on time for effective programme completion by end of the first quarter of 2007. He stated that customer retention was above plan and new business growth was in line with plan. The company expects to reach a revenue of well above ?20 bn and an EBIT of at least ?750m in 2006. These figures are after reclassification of DHL Freight from the express division into Logistics.
