DHL eCommerce relocated from its Elkridge, Md. distribution center to a 138,500-square-foot location in Prince William County.
The new distribution center enables DHL eCommerce to process more B2C domestic volume with 130 employees while supporting its customer base in the Mid-Atlantic states.
The new facility, at 11400 University Boulevard, near Manassas, is double the size of the previous location with 41 dock doors and combines a warehouse, meeting rooms, training, and office spaces.
The facility has environmentally friendly features, such as four EV charging stations, a Building Management System, clear story windows, and electric HVAC. In addition, it houses two large line sorters that can each process 14,000 parcels and packages per hour.
“We anticipate that the demand for e-commerce will continue to grow, and as a result, we have expanded our U.S. footprint, and Manassas is an important part of DHL eCommerce’s five-year growth plan,” said Lee Spratt, CEO of DHL eCommerce, Americas in a press release.
In 2023, DHL eCommerce relocated to larger facilities in Phoenix, Ariz.; Salt Lake City, Utah; Orlando, Fla.; Hebron, Ky.; and opened wholly owned distribution centers in Stow, Ohio; Kansas City, Mo.; and Chicago.
