DHL's Industry Sector approach

Every industry has its own particular characteristics and supply chain needs, which is why our sector management approach is to work with customers to optimize the value proposition for their industry’s distinctive requirements. Built around expert teams of dedicated professionals who fully understand your business in-depth, our industry sector approach is designed to deploy the broad know-how and geographic reach of all Deutsche Post DHL divisions to provide simplified and sustainable solutions that are right for your particular industry. This includes dedicated infrastructure and competence centers to provide the specialized expertise your sector requires.
While we harness the broad expertise and geographic reach of all DHL divisions to provide customers of all industries with a simplified approach and sustainable solutions, Life Sciences & Healthcare and Technology have been singled out as core strategic industries under our sector management approach.

Our Core Industry Sectors

With the current focus on the Life Sciences & Healthcare and Technology sectors, we work with customers to optimize the value proposition for their specific industry, and stay ahead of their evolving requirements.

Technology

An even more fine-tuned sub-sector approach is necessary to address the supply chain requirements of the Technology industry’s distinct product categories, which is why DHL breaks the industry down into eight sub-sectors with targeted strategies for each.

Life Sciences & Healthcare

As the leading logistics provider to the Life Sciences & Healthcare sector, DHL recognizes that there is no margin for error when it comes to serving an industry on which people’s lives depend. Our experts understand the industry and act as advisors to our customers.

Technology

Technology is a fast paced industry with competitive markets and complex supply chain requirements. Reliable services with speed and access to all consumer markets are essential to drive revenue and growth for our Technology customers. The supply chain design has to balance cost efficiency with the needs of flexibility to react to changing demand cycles, new product innovations and customized configurations. Security for high value goods and full visibility leaves our customers in control of their supply chain. Our end-to-end solutions will make customers’ lives easier and simplify their business.
We recognize that the supply chain requirements of a semiconductor manufacturer are very different to those of a consumer electronics company, for instance, which is why our sector approach is fine-tuned to the needs of the specific sub-sectors.
Whether you need to manage inbound materials to your manufacturing plants, distribute goods to your customers, or you need logistics services for your aftermarket business, DHL industry teams will work with you to determine your precise needs and ultimately create a strategy tailored to help you stay competitive.


Life Sciences & Healthcare

Providing life-saving products is a big responsibility - one with risks that far outweigh those in a typical supply chain environment. DHL’s network of specialized infrastructure, competence centers and life sciences experts enables us to manage a compliant cold chain that satisfies our customers’ exact requirements. This ensures that you, in turn, can deliver excellent quality to your own customers.
