Under the partnership, DHL Group will work closely with the Gokongwei Group to develop tailored logistics services that respond to the evolving needs of Philippine businesses, while expanding the adoption of practices and technologies that help lower emissions across supply chain operations.
“Fast and reliable door-to-door delivery services are what we provide at DHL Express, ensuring that our customers’ shipments arrive on time, every time,” said DHL Express’ managing director of DHL Express Philippines.
On the other hand, DHL Global Forwarding Philippines managing director Yvonne Lee noted that the unit provides flexible and cost-effective air and ocean freight solutions tailored to the diverse needs of clients.
Meanwhile, DHL Summit Solutions, Inc. country managing director Edwin Wong, highlighted the company’s domestic transportation services, including nationwide trucking for raw materials and finished goods, designed to optimize routes and reduce logistics costs.

The DHL Group and the Gokongwei Group will continue to expand their collaboration, particularly in priority sectors such as life sciences, healthcare, and retail.
Both companies will also reinforce engagement with subsidiaries and suppliers to unlock new growth opportunities, deepen knowledge-sharing, and strengthen the overall competitiveness of the Philippine market.
