DHL Supply Chain builds cargo hub in South Carolina
DHL Supply Chain will build a distribution and warehouse park in Dorchester County, South Carolina (USA). It will open in phases. With its USD 100 million investment, the company plans to create approximately 450 new jobs. The provider has purchased an area of 505,857 sqm, now called the DHL Commerce Park, to construct three new buildings, totalling 158,000 sqm.
The first new facility is expected to be completed in Q1 2020. “DHL Supply Chain will play an important role in supporting the logistics needs of multiple port-related business segments, and we look forward to the opening of their new facility,” said Jim Newsome, president and CEO of the South Carolina port authority (SCPA).
Newsome continued: “SCPA sees significant distribution and warehousing activities in our region, driven by port users who rely on our marine and inland facilities to handle growing import volumes bound for consumers across the southeast.” (mw)
