The local arm of DHL is currently upgrading its website, which is part of the “rebranding exercise” all DHL operations worldwide are going through as a result of the acquisition of Deutsche Post World Net of DHL International in December 2002.

DHL to spend USD160 million to automate package-sorting operations

Posted by | Mar 24, 2005 | |

In a bid to match US package-delivery rivals in efficiency, DHL Worldwide Express Inc. will invest USD160 million this year in technology that automates the package-sorting process.

The delivery and logistics company, owned by German mail carrier Deutsche Post AG, said it will upgrade automation by 2006 at its facilities in Wilmington, Ohio; Allentown, Pa.; and Riverside, Calif. Some jobs will be cut gradually, the company said.

The investment is part of DHL’s USD1.2 billion U.S. expansion and the company’s bid to become an alternative to United Parcel Service Inc. and FedEx Corp.

So far, DHL says it serves just a sliver of the U.S. market, around 6.8 percent.

“This is just another confirmation of the fact that DHL is a key player in the United States,” said Fred Beljaars, executive vice president of operations for DHL Americas.
