Besides offering airfreight and ocean freight services, the new JV provides customs clearance and other value added services. Employing over 250 employees, the new entity offers warehousing and distribution for air and ocean cargo and operates more than 70,000 square feet warehouse space, some of which is located in close proximity to the airport to ensure timely cargo transfer. DHL's global warehouse management system is also introduced in the new JV. The global IT platform will enhance the availability of information and service efficiency for customers.

As the global logistics leader, 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. DHL's end-to-end solutions include manufacturing and supplier services, origin management, freight management, destination management and in-country logistics. In addition, DHL offers sector-specific solutions to cater to customers' tailored needs. Some solutions for the fashion and apparel sector include:
