DAVID Pieris Group has announced that D P Logistics Ltd., has officially changed its name to David Pieris Logistics Ltd., (DPL), marking a significant milestone in the company’s continued growth and integration within the Group’s expanding logistics portfolio.

The name change reflects the company’s strengthened identity under the David Pieris Group brand and its enhanced position as a leading end-to-end logistics and supply chain solutions provider in Sri Lanka and overseas.

David Pieris Logistics currently ranks amongst the top ten companies in warehousing and third-party logistics (3PL) operations in the country and manages one of the largest container fleets within the local logistics sector. Despite operating in a highly fragmented freight forwarding market, the company continues to grow its market share, reinforcing its reputation as one of the few local logistics providers with comprehensive expertise across all logistics disciplines.
