DHL Supply Chain plans to invest €10 million in the next five years to expand facilities in northern Taiwan as it looks to fulfill the logistics demand of the semiconductor and life science and healthcare sectors.

The contract logistics division of the German postal group is set to open its latest facility in Taoyuan (Taoyuan Distribution Center- Jian Guo) in December this year, which is the second site for the division in Taoyuan.

The 10,000-sqm facility offers excellent connectivity to National Highway No.1 (by land), Taipei port (by sea), Taoyuan International airport (by air), and science parks in Hsinchu and Taipei. The so-called ‘green building,’ equipped with solar panels to reduce carbon emissions, will increase DHL’s total warehousing space in Taoyuan to 37,000 square meters.

DHL Supply Chain plans to increase its total footprint in Taiwan to 200,000 square meters by 2027.
