DHL setting its sights on China's western regions

Deutsche Post DHL, one of the first foreign courier companies to enter China, will tailor its services for the country's booming western regions, a top company executive said on Tuesday.

A growing number of enterprises are relocating to these regions to better manage costs and increase efficiency.

The company, with headquarters in Bonn, Germany, will provide a range of solutions, including new warehouse management systems, to help manufacturers rein in logistics spending following the huge urbanization drive in China's inland areas, according to William Meahl, DHL's chief commercial officer.
