DHL Supply Chain (DSC) boosts its strategy in China.

The confirmed locations are Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Wuhan, Shenyang, Shenzhen and Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone. This is on the back of EUR 105 million that was committed in 2013, bringing the total committed to EUR 218 million.

„DHL Supply Chain is on a strong growth path in Asia Pacific,” said Oscar de Bok, Chief Executive Officer of DHL Supply Chain Asia Pacific. “In China alone, DSC will expand its warehouse facilities and transport capacities by 50 per cent over the next three years,“ he adds.

DSC recently opened its state-of-the art Chengdu logistics facility in western China. Located in Xindu district, the Chengdu logistics centre is a key strategic investment by DHL Supply Chain to support continued economic growth in the western region. The 54,000 m² centre operates scalable, repeatable solutions for multiple customers across a broad spectrum of industries including technology, consumer and healthcare; and delivers significant synergy benefits in terms of cost, quality and performance.  The new facility also acts as a multi-user cross-dock to support the effective and efficient transportation of products across the Western region.
