DHL plans more than €400 million for Central and Eastern European logistics
DHL has announced a regional investment programme through 2030 covering warehousing, contract logistics, B2B transport and supply-chain technology.
DHL Group announced on 8 October that it plans to invest more than €400 million across Central and Eastern Europe through 2030. The programme spans its divisions and includes additional contract-logistics capacity, warehouses, B2B transport networks and supply-chain control towers.
The company identifies Poland, Czechia, Hungary and Romania as strategically important markets as manufacturers and distributors reassess European supply chains. It also plans a new DHL Express air-express terminal in Katowice alongside investments in warehousing and distribution networks.
This is a multi-year investment plan, not confirmation that all facilities are completed or operational. The expansion is relevant to palletised freight customers seeking regional storage, distribution and transport capacity.
