MIDA and DHL have renewed their strategic partnership through a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed on 25 June 2025. The collaboration reinforces efforts to position Malaysia as a leading regional logistics hub by enhancing the country’s supply chain capabilities to better support foreign investors.

All four DHL business divisions operating in Malaysia — DHL Express, DHL Supply Chain, DHL Global Forwarding, and DHL eCommerce — will continue working with MIDA to attract investments in key sectors such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, aerospace, and chemicals.

Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid, CEO of MIDA, said the partnership is a strategic step towards building a smart logistics ecosystem, supported by innovations such as AI, automation, and robotics. DHL leaders also affirmed their commitment to Malaysia, citing expanded infrastructure and comprehensive end-to-end logistics solutions that enable faster market access for global companies.

The renewed MOU supports the goals of Malaysia’s New Industrial Master Plan 2030 and reflects growing investor confidence, bolstered by Malaysia’s improved global rankings in connectivity and competitiveness.
