DHL opens new service centre in Dulles Corridor

DHL has opened a new service centre in Herndon that will serve northern Virginia’s “Dulles Corridor” area. In a statement issued today (3 November), DHL said that the $1.5 million investment was driven by the “current and forecasted shipment growth from the region’s technology, public sector and small- to medium-sized businesses”.

Located at 13978 Park Center Road, the new centre is close to the Washington Dulles International Airport and will operate as the local centre for pick-up, delivery and sorting operations of international shipments.

The 18,000-square foot facility, which can process more than 2,500 shipments per hour, complements the operations of existing DHL service centres in downtown Washington, D.C., and at the Baltimore-Washington International Airport.

“The Dulles Corridor is a booming market for international commerce and has strong growth potential for years to come,” said Greg Hewitt, DHL Area General Manager, Northeast U.S. ”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.”

The new service centre will handle a variety of shipments, including international small parcels as well as palletized and container freight.
