DHL Expands Columbus Facility

Global express carrier and third party logistics operator DHL will more than double warehouse space at its Columbus Commerce Park facility on the Rickenbacker Air Industrial Park. The 190,000 square-foot facility recently occupied by DHL will be expanded. DHL says the Columbus facility will have rapid access to its Wilmington Air Park which provides access to 60% of the U.S. population within one hour’s flying time.

The investment includes new material handling equipment, leasehold improvements and warehouse management systems. The resulting facility will have 320,000 square feet of warehousing space and two warehouse management systems to facilitate inventory movement and management of returns.
