DHL, the world’s leading provider of international express shipping services, recently opened new facilities in Philadelphia and New Jersey, further growing the company’s footprint in the region, including northern Delaware. The $20 million investment establishes more conveniently located and spacious facilities, which will increase shipment capacity and enable faster shipment processing, resulting in earlier deliveries for local customers.

　　B2C and B2B e-commerce shipment volumes continue to drive unprecedented growth in the U.S. The new facilities address the need to increase capacity for future growth by splitting its previous facility in Philadelphia, PA into two locations that are also more geographically centered to its clients in the region. The new, relocated Philadelphia facility, now at 550 Elmwood Avenue in Sharon Hill, PA, is centrally located near the greater downtown Philadelphia area and the Philadelphia International Airport, maximizing the service window for deliveries.

　　The New Jersey facility, located at 1240 Forest Parkway, Suite 400 in West Deptford, adds increased morning and evening processing capacity and reduces overall travel of courier route miles in the Greater Philadelphia/Southern New Jersey markets while also serving customers in the northern Delaware region.
