The Excellence of Italian Craftsmanship Finds in DHL Express the Ideal Partner for Success on a Global Scale

DHL Express, a global leader in international express shipping, reaffirms its commitment  to supporting the internationalization of Italian businesses through a visit by Mike Parra, CEO of DHL Express Europe and a member of the global Board, to the Ducati headquarters in Borgo Panigale.

This occasion highlights the strength of the partnership between the two companies, which was established in 1999 and is rooted in a shared dedication to innovation, performance, and quality.

With a global network in over 220 countries, DHL Express operates with agility and efficiency, assisting Italian businesses in accessing emerging markets not only through express shipping services but also by offering customs consulting and tailored solutions to optimize delivery times, ensuring secure shipments that comply with international regulations.

The meeting provided an opportunity to discuss future projects and the strategic role of logistics in the current global markets landscape. Ducati, a symbol of innovation and quality in Italian craftsmanship, has embarked on a journey that, starting from Italy, has reached complex markets around the world. The company manages a sales and service network comprising over 800 dealers in more than 90 countries. Meanwhile DHL Express, with its extensive network, is well-positioned to support Ducati in its global expansion, ensuring that brand's excellence is recognized in key markets. DHL Express consultative approach allows for flexible adaptation to Ducati's needs, delivering personalized service through dedicated after-sales activities that ensure efficient logistics management.

“During my visit to Italy, I was pleased to have the opportunity to tour the Ducati facility, a brand that embodies the excellence of Italian craftsmanship on a global scale” stated Mike Parra, CEO of DHL Express Europe and a member of the Board of DHL Express Global. “Italy remains a strategic country for our Group, contributing positively to business success with over 50 million shipments annually and 80 daily air movements. This commitment is further demonstrated by our investment plan in Italy, which amounts to 360 million euros for the four-year period from 2023 to 2026, rising to 700 million when considering the last eight years.”

“Ducati is a global brand with a distinctly Italian essence: a sporting spirit, excellence in design, a passion for beauty, and the ability to evoke powerful emotions," stated Nazzarena Franco, CEO of DHL Express Italy. "Together, DHL Express and Ducati not only champion the excellence of Italian craftsmanship but also pledge to provide exceptional service to our customers, ensuring that every spare part and accessory is delivered with the utmost care and attention. In the current context of 'trade transition,' logistics is emerging as a strategic asset for all companies seeking to transform uncertainties into tangible opportunities."

"The operational efficiency and reliability of DHL Express's logistics network are vital to our global growth journey, enabling us to guarantee fast delivery times and consistent quality across all markets in which we operate, thereby providing our customers with a service that aligns with Ducati's high standards" stated Federico Sabbioni, Supply Chain Director at Ducati. "In this historically evolving landscape, where responsiveness is key, logistics proves to be a decisive competitive advantage. Partnering with DHL Express means having access to robust and responsive support."
