DHL Opens New Service Center in Houston, Texas

DHL, a leading international express services provider, has expanded its operations in Houston, Texas with the opening of a new service center.

The $2.5 million investment was primarily driven by heavy demand and international shipment growth from the region’s expanding oil and gas sector. The new 28,000-sq.-ft facility can process more than 2,500 shipments per hour, and sits due west of the central business district – serving Houston and surrounding areas for pick-up, delivery and sorting operations of international shipments.

The center will nearly double the local facility capacity for DHL Express in Houston, resulting in earlier delivery times and later drop off cut-off times for international importers and exporters.

“DHL Express is constantly looking for ways to improve and enhance its international express services through investments in our U.S. operations, which is why we are so pleased to accommodate growth and enhance service for one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the United States,” said John Fox, Sr. Vice President and General Manager for DHL Express.
