DHL Express opens new service centre in Hanoi, Vietnam

Representing an investment of approximately €2 million and spanning almost 2,600 square metres, the Hanoi West service centre is almost three times the size of its previous site. With sustainability at the core of DHL’s business, the new service centre is equipped with an array of technologies to minimise carbon emissions and maximise operational efficiencies. These include green air-conditioning systems utilising variable refrigerant volume technology, helicopter fans and electric vehicles, DHL said in a press release.

The West Hanoi service centre is also the 100th facility in the Asia Pacific region (excluding China) to achieve TAPA “A” certification by the Transported Asset Protection Association.

“According to the DHL Trade Growth Atlas, Vietnam will continue to be one of the top ten countries for trade volume growth in the next five years. We are optimistic that the nation’s exports and imports will continue to rise, including the northern region where several of the largest exporters from the technology sector are located. This new service centre in Hanoi is well-positioned to provide these businesses with the best possible access to international markets in the years ahead,” Bernardo Bautista, general director and country manager, DHL Express Vietnam, said.

“Security and corporate success always go hand in hand, especially in today’s rapidly changing environments. In Vietnam and across more than 220 countries and territories where we operate, DHL Express treats the security of our supply chains with utmost importance. It is our competitive advantage and our top priority to ensure the safety and security of customers’ shipments traveling through our network, as well as of our workplaces and people,” Mark Komene, senior director for operations at DHL Express Vietnam, said.

“TAPA Class “A” is the highest level of our security standards and denotes a facility as one that offers “elevated security protection”. DHL’s 100th TAPA “A” certification in Asia Pacific is a significant achievement which enhances their position as an industry leader in the international express service domain. Customers everywhere increasingly demand logistics partners to build resilience and sustainability into their networks. DHL has certainly proved that their network is safe, secure and certified by the internationally recognised TAPA Standards,” Tony Lugg, TAPA certified expert and chairman of TAPA APAC, said.
