Multinational express courier DHL has announced the construction of a “new world-class service centre facility” in Midrand.

The project will be jointly developed by Waterfall and property developers SOM Group, with an overall investment commitment of R500 million over the next 15 years.

The courier’s managing director for South Africa, Jed Michaletos, said: “The new facility will make use of a drive-in model, thereby maximising productivity and increasing the volume of shipments processed daily to ensure faster delivery of shipments.

“The increased capacity will enable us to handle a double-digit increase in shipments processed per hour, and will allow further growth of up to triple digits if required.”
