Integrated carrier expects the 28,000-square-foot facility to process more than 2,500 shipments per hour.
DHL Express has expanded its operations in Houston by opening a new service center.
The $2.5 million investment was driven primarily by “heavy demand and international shipment growth from the region’s booming oil and gas sector,” the express carrier said.
DHL expects the 28,000-square-foot facility to process more than 2,500 shipments per hour.
“The center will nearly double the local facility capacity for DHL Express in Houston, resulting in earlier delivery times and later drop off cut-off times for international importers and exporters. With an increase in activity linked to the oil and gas industries, DHL Express has seen an uptick in emergency shipping of machinery parts and replacement tools,” the company said.
DHL Express operations in Houston also include a service center north of Humble, Texas; an aircraft ramp at George Bush Intercontinental Airport; and its U.S. customer finance support center.
