DHL’s new hub for its Global Forwarding arm in Cambodia has opened today (23 February).

The new office - based in Regency Square Business Complex, Phnom Penh - will become a DHL Fashion and Apparel Center of Excellence.

It aims is to support the “textile and garments industry in Cambodia, and also bolster DHL’s services to customers in the oil and energy sector”, DHL confirmed.

Amadou Diallo, CEO, Africa and South Asia Pacific, DHL Global Forwarding, said: “The new office reflects our commitment to expand our reach in the region and to continually invest in Cambodia.

“We are very optimistic about the country’s growth potential - gross domestic product growth stands at 5.5% in 2010, higher than the forecast of 4.9% by the World Bank.


“We believe that 2011 will be an even better year for Cambodia now that economic recovery is well underway.”

DHL said world energy demand is likely to grow 74% by 2030 from 2005 levels.

The energy sector is also expected to attract an average of EUR 600bn a year in investments to reach EUR 15 trillion in cumulated investments by 2030.

As it stands, the oil and energy industry spends EUR 260bn on logistics. This includes both fossil and renewable energies, DHL said.

Sam Ang, CEO, South East Asia, DHL Global Forwarding, said: “The burgeoning oil and energy industry provides lots of supply chain and logistics opportunities for us, in terms of supporting oil exploration and production in the Asia Pacific.

“As such, we will be strengthening our Industrial Projects division in Cambodia, which will handle large-scale industrial projects for leading multinationals and provide integrated turnkey project forwarding services for industry segments such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, power and energy,”

The new office will be DHL’s seventh Fashion and Apparel Center for Excellence in Asia Pacific.

There are already similar projects fully operational in Bangladesh, Hong Kong, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Vietnam.

In Cambodia, the Center will “implement best practices and customise solutions to help customers in fashion and apparel to better manage the product flow further upstream in their supply chain.”

Huykieu Khau, managing director, DHL Logistics (Cambodia), said: “The fashion and apparel industry remains as one of our core focus areas and Cambodia is an increasingly important part of our global fashion and apparel aspirations.

“In the initial 11 months of 2010, garments and textiles contributed nearly $2.82bn to Cambodia, which is a 20.15% increase from the same period last year.

“Moreover, EU tax exemptions for Cambodia mean export growth is likely to continue to rise.”

Cambodia goverment block Ki or Khmerization.

It is the same way that Kherization limite the freedom of speech and expression toward Ms. Rattana Keo. So it is very fair!

Ms. Rattana Keo is hero of new khmer generation. She repeats talking about Kos Trol that's all but Khmerization website mop her down.

Inconclusion every websites they are always serving their master and purpose, even KI or Khmerization. Ms. Rattana Keo's case is an classic example of Freedom of speech and expression that has been mopped by Khmerization. She just repeat about Kos Trol and in her comment has nothing to do with rude languge or her own benifit at all. She speaks the true about what are happening in Cambodia and a lot of people including Kherization anti her comment. So this is the same way that Cambodia goverment do the same to Ki or Khmerization ( limit freedom of speech and Expression )

3:30,
You are the man who acted as a woman and named yourself Rattana Keo. Now, you pretend you are somebody else to call youself a hero of repeating nonsense idea posted in this forum over and over again, you can't dive deep and go far. Your above English writing is the same way you wrote about "Kos Tral". It's so annoyed and disturbed to see it again and again every where. I'm glade that you are kicked out from Khmerization forum.The best thing to do for you now, please check in with psychiatrist tomorrow or take Prozac three times a day and get enough sleep.

Khmer still have jeasousy behavour till today. I think Ms. Rattana Keo do nothing wrong and except she keep talking about Kos Trol. Can you people explain what is wrong about keep talking about Kos Trol? If you guy out there have gut to talk about Kos Trol Ms. Rattana Keo wouldn't need to repeat herself many times. Most khmer men and cambodian politicians are scare to talk about Kos TRol that is why she has to stand up for Kos Trol. Don't you people understand?

You must have a brain maniac need to treat with #1 acid to clean your annoyed idea. You can not change the way your English writting above,ha ha ha.So it means you are still stupid. By the way, it seems you forget to post your Kos Tral again. One question, Where do you get the word Unkhmer from???

Ms Rattana keo,
I think you should forget about Kos Trol now, but you should fight for a space at Prek Thnot to cure yourself from mental problem. You are about to have a complete brain damage if you are keeping post your stupid comment over again and again.
