DHL Supply Chain, the global market leader in contract logistics solutions, announced the opening of a new transport hub in Hamilton. Strategically located in Hamilton, the new hub will be a key logistics hub nationwide, ensuring reliable and efficient delivery of consignments to end recipients. This hub has further bolstered final-mile delivery capabilities in underserviced areas outside of Auckland.
Fitted with state-of-the-art technology and equipment, the new transport hub will better meet the needs and expectations of regional customers in the surrounding communities.
“We’re excited to announce the opening of our new transport hub in Hamilton,” said Matt Casbolt, Managing Director at DHL Supply Chain New Zealand.
“This is the latest addition to our two-year transport network development strategy, following the establishment of our Whangarei, Tauranga, and Hawkes Bay transport hubs.”
Casbolt continued the addition of the new Hamilton hub and existing network, proudly providing last mile and line haul services to customers in regions and key markets representing over 50 percent of the country’s GDP.
“Our goal is to continue delivering an exceptional transport service to our customers, enabled by great people, a strong network presence, and partnering with the best transport service providers.”
The new hub services customers across all sectors that require a high service standard in deliveries, including consumer goods, life sciences, healthcare, engineering, and IT sectors. The facility brings DHL’s market-leading compliance, training, and health and safety procedures to this market.
DHL’s investment in regional areas has helped enhance the resilience of supply chains in New Zealand, especially in the wake of recent global supply chain disruptions. As part of this investment, DHL has planned to open other hubs later this year and into 2024 to support ambitious growth plans for the New Zealand market.
DHL now has a network of depots across Auckland, Whangarei, Tauranga, Hamilton and Hastings.
