Handling 1 million coffee orders per year
DHL Supply Chain is extending its strategic partnership with Nestlé Nespresso to provide logistics and fulfilment services in Australia. Projected to handle over 1 million orders in the first year, the Australian operation will be based in omnichannel facilities in Brisbane and Sydney.
In all markets, DHL Supply Chain manages key aspects of the supply chain, including storage, warehousing, and picking and packing of individual orders.
The flexibility and capacity to scale up the operation was one of the main reasons why Nespresso decided to partner with DHL Supply Chain in Australia. To meet the brand's growth in a key market, the Brisbane warehouse was strategically chosen to bring speed-to-market efficiencies and contribute to the brand's sustainability goals.
The new Queensland location reduces the carbon footprint by shipping directly from the Brisbane port to the distribution centre nearby. The extended business builds on the existing partnerships with Nespresso in Italy, Brazil, Malaysia, Taiwan, UK, and Ireland, with some dating back to 2014. (ben)
