DHL to build US$175m North Asia Hub in Shanghai
DHL has decided to establish the DHL Express North Asia Hub in near the Shanghai Pudong International Airport in China. (11/26/2007)
The new facility will serve China and the North Asia region, providing DHL’s customers with greater regional connections as well as intercontinental links to Europe and the US.
This latest US$175 million investment brings DHL’s total investment in Asia-Pacific to more than US$2.2 billion in the past few years, US$615 million of which was invested in China.
Scheduled for completion in the second half of 2010, the North Asia Hub will help boost DHL’s growth in Asia-Pacific and strengthen its market leadership in China.
The North Asia Hub will also complement the Central Asia Hub in Hong Kong, as well as hubs in Bangkok, Incheon, Singapore and Sydney. Together, the six hubs will be linked to a network of almost fifty DHL Express Gateways located throughout Asia-Pacific.
To be built on a total land area of 88,000 m2 in the West Cargo Handling Area of Shanghai Pudong International Airport, the new 55,000 m2 North Asia Hub will feature a Quality Control Centre that also serves as a nerve centre for crisis management. DHL’s QCCs are a network of regional and country quality control centres that proactively monitor all DHL shipments in the air and on the ground round the clock.
The North Asia Hub will also be equipped with an automated sorting system with the capacity to sort up to 20,000 parcels and 20,000 documents per hour.
The establishment of the North Asia Hub will improve transit times across North Asia and will particularly benefit customers located in the Yangtze River Delta. DHL will be able to leverage regional and international flights to provide added flexibility for its customers with guaranteed time-definite morning delivery for more major cities in North Asia.
DHL Express’ partnerships with Polar Air and Lufthansa Cargo, effective from late-2008 and April 2009 respectively, will enable DHL to meet the expected strong increase in demand for cargo space between Asia-Pacific and Europe as well as the US.
