DHL Supply Chain 是美洲合同物流领域的，隶属于德国邮政 DHL 集团，今天在俄亥俄州韦斯特维尔的 Westar Place 新公司总部破土动工。该公司将在将于 2019 年 12 月开业的新总部投资超过 2000 万美元。
DHL Supply Chain 与俄亥俄州中部，尤其是 Westerville 有着悠久的历史，最初于 1991 年在 Schrock Road 占据空间，并于 2003 年搬到 Polaris Parkway。在那段时间，该公司与 Westerville 社区建立了合作伙伴关系。公司高管探索了多种搬迁方案，但决定留在俄亥俄州中部，因为这些合作伙伴关系、该地区现有的人才以及最显着的是该地区在物流行业的重要性。
“我们进一步投资俄亥俄州中部的决定是一项战略性决定，因为该地区比任何其他市场都提供了更多进入美国的渠道，”DHL 供应链北美执行官 Scott Sureddin 说。“我们的新总部将使我们能够进一步满足我们两个最重要的利益相关者的需求：我们的客户和我们的员工。”
DHL Supply Chain 在其目前位于韦斯特维尔的北美总部拥有 630 名员工，并在俄亥俄州中部拥有十多个仓库和设施。通过这些设施，DHL Supply Chain 能够在 10 小时车程内覆盖美国 46% 的人口，超过美国任何主要地铁。
“仅通过查看地图，我们就知道俄亥俄州中部是一个物流中心，但拥有全球的第三方物流供应商 DHL Supply Chain，将该地区称为该地区的所在地，使俄亥俄州中部成为物流中心，”David C. Stadge，特拉华县财政局。
Westerville 的 Polaris Parkway 走廊为创新的新总部提供了理想的位置，可快速通往主要高速公路，增加开发和扩展空间。随着公司计划在未来 10 年继续发展，新大楼将容纳 800 多名员工。
“在韦斯特维尔保留 DHL 供应链不仅代表对我们当地经济的重大投资，而且还象征着我们的城市与物流之间的真正合作伙伴关系，”韦斯特维尔市市长克雷格·特雷内夫 (Craig Treneff) 说。“从在城市周围志愿服务的员工到公司在我们社区激发的创新，我们无法想象没有 DHL Supply Chain 的 Westerville。”
DHL Supply Chain, Americas’ leader in contract logistics and part of Deutsche Post DHL Group, broke ground today on a new corporate headquarters on Westar Place in Westerville, Ohio. The company will invest more than $20 million in the new headquarters set to open in December 2019.
DHL Supply Chain has a long history with Central Ohio, and specifically Westerville, originally occupying space on Schrock Road in 1991 and moving to Polaris Parkway in 2003. In that time, the company developed collaborative partnerships with the Westerville community. Company executives explored several options for relocation, but decided to stay in Central Ohio, because of those partnerships, the existing talent that exists in the area and, most notably, the region’s importance in the logistics industry.
“Our decision to further invest in Central Ohio was a strategic one, as the region provides greater access to the U.S. than any other market,” said Scott Sureddin, CEO of DHL Supply Chain, North America. “Our new headquarters will further enable us to meet the needs of our two most important stakeholders: our customers and our people.”
DHL Supply Chain employs 630 people at its current North American headquarters in Westerville and has more than a dozen warehouses and facilities in Central Ohio. From those facilities, DHL Supply Chain is able to reach 46 percent of the U.S. population within a 10-hour drive, more than any major U.S. metro.
“Just by looking at a map, we know that Central Ohio is a logistics hub, but having DHL Supply Chain, the world’s largest third-party logistics provider, call the region its home makes Central Ohio the logistics hub,” said David C. Stadge, Chair of the Delaware County Finance Authority.
Westerville’s Polaris Parkway corridor presented an ideal location for an innovative new headquarters, with quick access to major highways, increased development and room for expansion. The new building will accommodate more than 800 associates as the company plans to continue to grow in the next 10 years.
