Leading courier and logistics company Empost has opened the head office of its international division at Dubai Airport Free Zone.

The office will serve as the central point for all international transactions and services of Empost, and is described as part of its on-going drive to upgrade services and facilities.

Sultan Al Midfa, Chief Executive Officer, Empost, said: "This is a show of our commitment to improve our services to numerous government and private sector establishments, as well as individuals who wish to avail of our range of world-class express courier, cargo and logistics services.

"The office will serve as the hub for all our international operations. As Empost is in a high growth phase with a focus on consolidating in existing international markets and entering new ones, the new international division office will help us capitalise on the huge demand for courier services worldwide."

Empost, a subsidiary of Emirates Post, says its consistent growth is due to innovation and refinement of services, which have been the company's primary strengths for over a decade. It has evolved to cater to growing and diverse business needs through value-added services such as Ezimail, Total Mail Management, Heavies Express Service and Economy Express, Ezibox.

Last year, Empost launched its cargo and logistics service offering total supply chain solutions by air, land and sea freight operations through a new logistics division. The new service provides Empost customers with regional and global transportation networks, specifically tailored to their requirements to offer reliable solutions.

The portfolio includes flexible international land options from standard to expedited services, door-to-door and airport-to-airport forwarding, sea-to-air transshipments and air-to-air transshipments, customs clearance, warehousing and distribution and land transportation within UAE and other countries.

Empost also offers online management tools for shipment tracking, and time bound, guaranteed airfreight services with flexible options for shipment and delivery ranging from 24 hours to seven days.

The company hopes to leverage the expertise of its staff to become UAE's fastest growing integrated freight forwarding and logistics solutions provider.
