Posted by | Aug 9, 2005 | |

DHL plans to spend USD4 million to expand near Rickenbacker Airport, a move that will create 150 jobs. The express delivery and logistics company said the investment will be made over five years at its DHL Columbus Commerce Park on Spiegel Drive, north of Rickenbacker. The facility has 120 employees, a mixture of DHL workers and employees contracted through a company that is a partner of DHL. The additional hires primarily will be contract employees, DHL spokesman Robert Mintz said. DHL will expand its 320,000-square-foot warehouse at Rickenbacker by more than 20 percent.
