Contract logistics provider, DHL Supply Chain, has opened a new 32,000 square metre facility in Horsley Park west of Sydney.
According to DHL, the custom-built facility represents a $35 million investment and marks the fourth addition to the company’s industrial ‘Campus’ – an exclusively leased industrial park which spans some 18 hectares.
Now worth a total of $120 million, the DHL Campus employs more than 500 people and offers 90,000 square metres of warehousing space.
“Campus is home to many of our consumer, retail, technology and healthcare customers and features some of our most innovative customer solutions and environmentally sound outputs,” said Terry Ryan, CEO, DHL Supply Chain South Pacific.
“We will continue to invest ahead of the curve to ensure we can accommodate the requirements of our future and existing customers. Annually we have taken upwards of 30,000 square metres of industrial real estate since 2009 and will continue expansion to support Australian market growth. Today, in Australia, we manage over 500,000 square metres of warehousing.”
The new facility will welcome three key retail customers, and will be fitted out with a fully automated retail solution in April of 2015. It will offer new employment opportunities for up to 200 people.
DHL is part of Deutsche Post DHL. The Group generated revenue of more than 55 billion Euro in 2013 alone.
