DHL Global Forwarding has completed the acquisition of shares in Danzas AEI Emirates, with all facilities now rebranded to DHL.
The acquisition enhances DHL’s operational capabilities in the UAE, GCC and Middle East and Africa (MEA) region with the transfer of 1,100 logistics experts and ownership of over 20 facilities.
Amadou Diallo, CEO of DHL Global Forwarding MEA, 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’s local heritage to foster innovation and sustainability, and create value for our customers, employees and stakeholders.”
Following the integration, DHL Global Forwarding will own and operate over 20 of Danzas’s state-of-the-art facilities across Dubai and the Northern Emirates, with key sites in Jebel Ali Freezone, Dubai World Central (Al Maktoum International Airport), and Dubai Airport Free Zone, including the latest station based in Ras Al Khaimah.
