DHL Supply Chain has announced the extension of the successful partnership with leading wholesaler and retailer, Makro, with its plan to build a new US$4.6 million automated warehouse in Thailand.

Located in Wang Noi on the northern outskirts of Bangkok, the newly built warehouse spans 14,500 square meters and boasts a handling capacity of more than 80 million cases per annum. DHL said it offers an improved lead time of as little as six hours from the moment the supplier’s goods arrive at the warehouse to the time they reach the retail stores in Bangkok, an improved efficiency of up to 50 per cent.
