Bonn, Germany, 16-4-2014 — /EuropaWire/ — DHL Express has recently expanded its successful partnership with IDEXX Laboratories, a global leader in diagnostics and information technology solutions for animal health. In 2011, IDEXX selected DHL as its primary carrier in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) for the express shipping of veterinary customer’s time-critical deliveries to its reference laboratories. DHL’s commitment to speed and reliability enables IDEXX to further enhance its logistical operations and extend its market coverage in EMEA. Given its success to date, IDEXX recently extended DHL’s expedited shipping services to additional EMEA geographies, including Denmark and the Netherlands.
The partnership mainly focuses on samples sent from veterinary practices to the IDEXX Leipzig laboratory, where reference laboratory specialists work on the diagnostic test results. The Leipzig lab, which serves as the Company’s central diagnostic testing center for the EMEA region, is situated in the vicinity of DHL’s main European hub in Leipzig, Germany. IDEXX’s new location is designed to meet customers’ needs by enhancing the company’s service levels for its diagnostic tests as well as ensuring operational efficiency in the EMEA region.
Reliable and efficient managing of time-sensitive testing processes

With our proven expertise in this sector and the power of the DHL Express global network, we are delighted to support IDEXX by offering the highest possible quality and security of shipments and in so doing help meet the company’s specific logistics needs,” explains David Wilson, Executive Vice President, Sales, DHL Express.
“Our Leipzig reference laboratory creates a true competitive differentiation for IDEXX.
