DHL has announced its strengthened commitment to Thailand through its Strategy 2030 - Accelerate Sustainable Growth, with opportunities to position Thailand as a key regional hub as more businesses look to build supply chain resiliency in Asia Pacific.
Thailand hosts all four DHL divisions operating in full force, enabling Thai businesses to access DHL's global network and solutions from a one-stop logistics partner. DHL's Strategy 2030 addresses five key megatrends shaping Thailand's economic landscape: Global Trade, E-Commerce, Sustainability, Digitalization and Evolving Workforce.
While these industry changes present new challenges, DHL's strong track record and global footprint position it uniquely to seize significant opportunities for additional growth.
DHL's long-standing commitment to Thailand is demonstrated through its comprehensive operational footprint and continued investment in infrastructure and capabilities. It currently employs more than 9,300 people across the four divisions.
DHL Supply Chain currently manages over 678,000 sqm of warehouse space across more than 70 facilities, including those in the Eastern Economic Corridor. Through its extensive transport network, the company efficiently handles approximately 4,800 vehicle loads daily. The company is making significant investments in developing more sustainable warehouses and is also set to expand its electric vehicle fleet by 300% over the next three years.
"Thailand's e-commerce sector is on a strong growth trajectory. We are actively shaping its future by enhancing quality standards and driving digital innovation. By integrating our nationwide delivery network with cutting-edge technology and sustainable logistics solutions, we empower Thai business of all sizes and sectors, whether B2B or B2C, to thrive in the digital economy," said Kiattichai Pitpreecha, CEO of DHL eCommerce, Southeast Asia.
"Our extensive network, spanning 220 countries and territories with dedicated air and ground infrastructure, positions Thailand as a key hub for global trade. We empower businesses of all sizes in Thailand to harness global opportunities while promoting a sustainable future through our trusted and effective solutions like the GoGreen Plus service. We are ready to help connect the world to Thailand and open new markets for Thai businesses," said Herbert Vongpusanachai, Managing Director of DHL Express Thailand & Head of Indochina.
"The recent launch of the DHL International Multimodal Hub at Suvarnabhumi Airport marks a transformative milestone in Thailand's logistics landscape. As Thailand positions itself as ASEAN's key EV manufacturing hub by 2025, our solutions such as our integrated multimodal network will help support the nation's ambitions," said Vincent Yong, Managing Director of DHL Global Forwarding Thailand.
"Thailand stands at the forefront of Southeast Asia's digital transformation in supply chain and logistics. With Thailand establishing itself as a key manufacturing hub for the automotive, technology and manufacturing sectors, coupled with a huge domestic retail market, we are very positive about the opportunities and are committed to supporting our customers' growth and supply chain excellence in Thailand over the next few years," said Steve Walker, CEO of DHL Supply Chain Thailand Cluster.
