Bahrain, 31 August, 2008: DHL Express, the world's leading express and logistics company, today announced the official opening of a new Service Point located on Budaiya Highway in Bahrain. Situated in a predominantly residential area, the new retail outlet will offer residential and business customers convenience, accessibility and a user-friendly range of services. This is the fourth DHL outlet in Bahrain, complementing the other Service Points located in Al Moayyed Tower in Seef, Umm al Hassam and Muharraq.

Incorporating DHL's easy-to-use international express services with simplified offers for customers, the latest outlet provides customers with exceptional service in a convenient location.  Core services on offer include DHL Express 9 and DHL Express 12 for more urgent deliveries, along with the standard end-of-day, DHL Express Worldwide.  In addition, for imports from around the world, customers can use DHL Import Express, and recently introduced, DHL Economy Select is a new option for less urgent, heavier shipments.

"This new DHL Service Point enables residents and businesses located in the North-West of the Kingdom, even faster and easier access to DHL's international express services," said Andy Broughton, DHL Bahrain Country Commercial Manager. "The strategic location of the new Service Point demonstrates our commitment to small and medium-sized companies as well as walk-in customers, and will provide DHL with the opportunity to grow our customer base in this thriving area."

The new Service Point on Budaiya Highway is located in the retail cluster that includes Marina Trading, and operates seven days a week from 9 am to 8pm.
