DHL SUPPLY CHAIN OPENS REGIONAL TRANSPORT HUB IN HAMILTON

• New hub supports linehaul and last mile delivery services in the North Island
• Strategic location supports customers in regional areas
• A network of depots service deliveries that require a high service standard

DHL Supply Chain, the global market leader in contract logistics solutions, today announced the opening of a new transport hub in Hamilton. This hub further bolsters final-mile delivery capabilities in underserviced areas outside of Auckland. Strategically located in Hamilton, the new hub serves as a key logistics hub nationwide, ensuring reliable and efficient delivery of consignments to end recipients.

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 on from the establishment of our Whangarei, Tauranga, and Hawkes Bay transport hubs.”

“With the addition of our new Hamilton hub and existing network, we are proud to now provide last mile and line haul services to customers in regions and key markets that represent over 50% of the country’s GDP,” added Casbolt. “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 & safety procedures to this market.

DHL’s investment in regional areas is helping to 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 plan to open further 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.
