DHL is expanding its operations as demand grows in the region
Planning how to get products from maker to consumer is a big job and one that is crucial to success. Macau's booming economy has seen the logistics business grow rapidly with increased demand for everything from construction material to food and beverages.
DHL Express Macau, an international express, overland transport and freight company, started in the region 23 years ago. It is now growing in an effort to keep pace with the thriving economy, fuelled by the gaming industry. According to Macau's Statistics and Census Service, its gross domestic product grew 28.9 per cent in the first half of this year.
Faced with outdated infrastructure and limited suppliers, Macau's hotel and casino operators have been forced to import massive amounts of equipment and hotel supplies. This includes everything from construction materials, furniture, fixtures and equipment to gaming supplies, room amenities and textiles.
DHL Express (Hong Kong) general manager Connie Tang Fung-ming said she saw many opportunities in Macau, and DHL had experienced 'good growth' in the region in recent years.
To cope with the increased demand, DHL is expanding its Macau team and looking for sales executives, customer service clerks, couriers and data entry staff.
