DHL to Build Largest U.S. Service Center in New York

$181 million investment to upgrade services for customers to and from Manhattan

Plantation, FL January 11, 2006 DHL, the world's leading global express delivery and logistics company, today announced plans to build its largest U.S. service center facility in New York City, N.Y. The $181 million investment will consolidate two existing service center locations into a new 161,125-sq.-ft. facility to serve Manhattan pickup, delivery and sorting operations.

Located to provide rapid egress and regress through below-grade access through the Lincoln Tunnel, DHL said the new service center will increase throughput capacity from 10,000 to 15,000 pieces per hour, enhance the efficiencies of the New York City DHL operation by combining multiple operations under one roof, and secure DHL's ability to maintain a high level of service for years to come.
