DP World, a prominent player in the logistics industry, has unveiled a major expansion initiative with the establishment of more than 100 new freight forwarding offices across the globe. This expansion, occurring within the past eight months, marks a strategic effort by DP World to bolster its logistical capabilities and better serve its customers amidst the complexities of international trade.
The inauguration of these offices has not only created over 1,000 new job opportunities but also signifies DP World’s commitment to facilitating global trade. With plans for further expansion in the coming year, DP World aims to play a pivotal role in moving more than 10 percent of global trade annually through its network.

By strengthening its freight forwarding capabilities, DP World seeks to provide customers with enhanced visibility, control, and tailored solutions for their logistical needs.
