DHL aims to support small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in expanding their business international, as logistics is now an important marketing strategy.

DHL Express (M) Sdn Bhd country manager for Malaysia and Brunei, Sam Leong, said logistics solutions were now available as a tool for small companies to market their products globally without opening a branch office in foreign countries.

“SMEs just have to locate their markets and let our logistics solutions deal with the transportation and distribution aspects,” he told StarBiz.

“For example, an SME may have secured an order from Germany whereby the product is assembled in Malaysia and uses raw materials from China,” he said.

He added that all these complex transportation processes could be solved by DHL without interrupting production and that the finished product would be sent to the intended market on time.
