The forwarder invested $1.5 million to construct a new service center adjacent to the Washington Dulles International Airport.
DHL opened a new service center in Herndon, Va. yesterday to serve the area of northern Virginia known as the “Dulles Corridor.”
Situated adjacent to the Washington Dulles International Airport, the $1.5 million investment was fueled by DHL’s current and projected shipment growth from the region’s technology, public sector and small to medium sized businesses, the forwarder said.
The 18,000-square-foot facility has the capability to process over 2,500 shipments per hour.
“The Dulles Corridor is a booming market for international commerce and has strong growth potential for years to come,” DHL Area General Manager, Northeast U.S. Greg Hewitt said in a statement. “This new facility will not only support customer shipment growth, but will allow for earlier delivery times and later drop-off cut-off times for international importers and exporters.”
DHL has nearby service center facilities in downtown Washington, D.C. and at the Baltimore-Washington International Airport.
