division of the world’s leading logistics company, Deutsche Post DHL Group
(DPDHL), announced that it will relocate its Sydney headquarters to a 19,000

DHL eCommerce Solutions is moving its Sydney HQ to Matraville and expanding its square footage by more than double to meet growing e-commerce shipping demands

 

The
relocation will see the e-commerce logistics specialist more than double its
square footage from its current Rosebery HQ. This expansion comes amidst
significant growth in e-commerce shipping demands from overseas consumers as a
result of lifestyle changes brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. Export data
from DHL eCommerce Solutions shows a whopping 60 times volume growth in the
export of children’s toys since the start of the year. Other product categories
such as kitchen & home cooking, health & beauty, and pet products have
also seen triple digit volume growth.

 

“Now
more so than ever, Australian businesses are seizing cross border opportunities
to expand their business globally, despite the current economic headwinds. As e-commerce
becomes the new normal, this investment will enhance our speed and service
capabilities, while demonstrating our commitment to support local businesses by
meeting the growing demand for reliable and affordable international shipping,”
 said Denise McGrouther, Managing
Director for DHL eCommerce Solutions Oceania. 

 

The
new facility will provide the organization with space for planned investments
into innovative warehousing technologies. When fully operational, these
advancements will enhance overall efficiency and enable faster processing times
for the growing number of e-commerce parcels coming in and going out of
Australia. Being co-located with DHL Global Forwarding, the experts in global
freight forwarding, will also bring advantages for B2C shippers looking to ship
heavier or bulky items.

 

DHL
eCommerce Solutions will continue to focus on lightweight e-commerce exports to
over 220 countries and territories worldwide, at both their Sydney and
Melbourne distribution centers. This new expansion will ensure DHL eCommerce
Solutions remains well-positioned to support local businesses, including
e-commerce platforms and marketplaces, and become the logistics provider of choice
for e-tailers.

 

DHL eCommerce is part of Deutsche Post DHL Group and,
along with its sister divisions DHL Express, DHL Supply Chain and DHL Global
Forwarding, have been in Australia since 1972, offering end-to-end logistics solutions.
