As the global leader in air and ocean freight, DHL Global Forwarding is capitalizing on the opportunity in the Fashion and Apparel Logistics industry estimated to be worth US$3.9 billion per annum in South Asia. India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka alone are estimated to account for well over US$2.4 billion in this fast-growing industry. DHL's services cover the entire logistics value chain of the fashion industry - from material purchasing to the sampling business, to quality control of production and direct delivery to the boutiques of international fashion companies.
Leveraging on the partnership with many well-known fashion labels and top brands of the apparel industry, the logistics experts at DHL, who have been working for over 50 years to develop tailor-made transport solutions that address the latest trends in the fashion world and meet the specific needs of individual customers, will transfer their in-depth knowledge in Europe and North America to the logisticians in Pakistan. With the slowdown in the world economy, DHL sees this as a great opportunity to invest in upgrading the skills and knowledge of its most important asset – People.
