DHL EXPRESS has opened a international service centre in Tsing Yi that coincides with its new offer of time-definite delivery from Hong Kong to the United States called "DHL Express 10:30".
The company has invested a total of HK$34.7 million (US$4.46 million) in its new 4,500-square-metre Tsing Yi service centre. Complementing its two existing international centres in Cheung Sha Wan and Tsuen Wan, the new facility consolidates shipments from across Hong Kong and sends them via a Central Asia hub for distribution to more than 220 countries and territories worldwide.
DHL Express Hong Kong managing director Ken Lee said the location of the new service centre in Tsing Yi makes for an ideal location owing to its transportation network, proximity to the city's airport, and convenient reach to customer sites. "This significant investment not only shows our continued confidence in Hong Kong's potential for growth, but also underlines our commitment to helping customers connect to the world."
The Tsing Yi service centre will help the company raise handling capacity and boost operational efficiency by streamlining processes and resources. Equipped with advanced installations that enable more efficient unloading processes, the centre is expected to have a 110-ton outbound capacity and a 50-ton inbound capacity per day, said a company statement.
Earlier this year, the company commenced a new round-the-world flight from Hong Kong to Los Angeles to offer customers one-day express delivery service in major Asia Pacific cities.
With this new service the company promises to deliver customers' shipments by 10.30am on the next possible business day to all major business centres in the US. The latest possible pickup cut-off time has been extended to 10pm in Hong Kong.
