DHL Supply Chain Plans Jacksonville, Florida, Operations

09/09/2024
Contract logistics specialist DHL Supply Chain plans to establish operations in Jacksonville, Florida. The $64 million project is expected to create at least 100 jobs by the end of 2025.

The new 600,000-square-foot logistics complex will be located near Kraft Road and Eastport Road.

"Although we have seen some softening of warehouse demand from peak levels, DHL Supply Chain has continued to create potential real estate investment opportunities that we can maximize on. Through our Real Estate Solutions platform we were able to identify a location to make an investment ahead of potential needs and also help our customers to tailor solutions to their unique operations,” said Carl DeLuca, Head of Real Estate Solutions Americas. “We are grateful to have collaborated with the City of Jacksonville and the JAXUSA Partnership, whose support enables us to continue to invest in Florida.”

DHL Supply Chain is a division of Deutsche Post DHL and an affiliate of DHL. The company currently has 529 facilities in North America.

“This is a great win for our community and another example of international logistics companies seeing Jacksonville as a key location in the Southeast,” JAXUSA Partnership President Aundra Wallace noted. “We have all the ingredients needed to reach customers throughout the Southeast – a deepwater port, access to interstates and rail and a talented workforce. We thank DHL for investing in our community and look forward to watching the company grow here.”
