DHL Group to acquire MNG Kargo

DHL Group has signed an agreement to acquire 100% of Turkish parcel delivery company MNG Kargo Yurtiçi ve Yurtdışı Taşımacılık A.Ş. (Domestic and Overseas Transportation Inc.) and its subsidiaries.

For DHL eCommerce, the newly acquired parcel network, with 27 mid-mile sorting centres and over 800 last-mile branches in all relevant cities of Turkey, is a perfect addition to the European parcel delivery network and thus becomes part of the business unit.

“Alongside sustainability, globalisation, and digitalisation we identified eCommerce as a megatrend in logistics and therefore made it an area of focus in our DHL Group Strategy 2025 over the last years," says Tobias Meyer, CEO, DHL Group.

Mainly driven by a young, dynamic population with a high affinity for digital communication, the eCommerce market in Turkey is expected to see double-digit growth in the coming years - significantly higher than in the EU markets.

"Our aspiration at DHL eCommerce is to provide our customers with reliable, affordable, and sustainable e-commerce delivery services," says Pablo Ciano, CEO, DHL eCommerce. "The backbone of this is our extensive network operated by us or through partnerships and our digital expertise and capabilities."
