For this year, DHL said that two of its divisions, DHL Supply Chain and DHL Global Forwarding, were both considered in the research.

Oscar de Bok, CEO of DHL Supply Chain, highlighted what he sees as the strengths of DHL in a media statement.

“With ecommerce and online sales skyrocketing during the pandemic, as well as with the recent uncertainties along the various global trade lanes, our focus on customer centricity and agile logistics services is more crucial than ever,” de Bok said.

“Awareness of our logistics services and supply chain portfolio has grown exponentially beyond industry insiders to the general public,” he said.

“Gartner defines that ‘Leaders execute well against their current vision and are well-positioned for tomorrow’. We believe that was earned by our 170,000 DHL Supply Chain employees around the World who have literally “gone the extra mile” to smooth out supply chain constraints, which our customers around the globe were facing,” he said.

de Bok continued that being recognised by Gartner as a Leader in this Magic Quadrant report for seven times in a row shows what reliable and valuable services DHL provides to the various industries they service.

“We honored to be named a leader in the field again,” said Terry Ryan, CEO of DHL Supply Chain, Asia Pacific.

“Over the past few years, we have worked extremely hard, leveraging our highly skilled teams in deploying innovative digital and automated solutions for our customers, and this truly recognises our efforts,” Ryan said.

“We evolved with the changing needs whilst also staying consistent and true to our values to provide the best supply chain solutions,” he said.

He continued that a perfectly orchestrated supply chain is one that can successfully manage e-fulfillment, handle returns, and support customers across various industries in this rapidly growing market segment.

“Our drive to innovate, to face emerging challenges head-on, and to forge the path to sustainable logistics, are all contributing factors to our success. We look forward to continued collaboration with our customers to make the logistics industry a greener one,” he said.
