SINGAPORE (Oct 18): DHL Express on Tuesday launched its new South Asia Hub located in Changi Airfreight Centre at Singapore’s Changi Airport.

The new facility is a 24-hour express hub which is 33% larger than the previous one, and at $140 million, is the largest investment the company has made in Singapore to date. The facility is also home to the industry’s first fully automated express parcel sorting and processing system in South Asia.

Aside from handling growing shipment volumes, some export shipments can bypass the service centre and be sent straight to the hub, streamlining operations by reducing travel and handling times.
