DHL SUPPLY CHAIN AUSTRALIA ANNOUNCES PIONEERING PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ESTÉE LAUDER COMPANIES AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND

• DHL Supply Chain selected as first-ever 3PL for the Company in Australia
• DHL to handle B2B and B2C warehousing

DHL Supply Chain, the global market leader in contract logistics solutions, and The Estée Lauder Companies Australia & New Zealand (ELC ANZ), the global leader in prestige beauty, have signed a strategic partnership.

In a first for ELC ANZ, DHL will manage omni-channel warehousing logistics and value-added services for 11 brands.

“This milestone is a significant one for both companies. We are so proud to be trusted with ELC warehousing in Australia. It was a consultative planning and design approach, and the new operation puts ELC ANZ in a robust position for growth”, said Steve Thompsett, CEO of DHL Supply Chain Australia & New Zealand.

“We’re so pleased to be partnering with DHL,” said Emmerentia Wilding, Managing Director Australia & New Zealand, The Estée Lauder Companies. “At The Estée Lauder Companies, we pride ourselves in delighting our consumers by providing them with the highest level of care and service, and this new era in our supply chain will ensure that we continue to do so. In addition, the capacity and scalability of this new solution will flex to meet with evolving needs of our consumers across Australia and New Zealand.”

The new 3PL solution provides greater capacity for both B2B and B2C customers and is designed to accommodate peak periods and increased growth.

The Australian market is a fast-growing one for ELC ANZ, and exceptional growth in online sales saw the Company outgrow its self-managed supply chain operations. The partnership with DHL future-proofs ELC’s growth strategy, operational capability, and inventory capacity.
