New DHL Express hub in Brussels to quadruple regional capacity

DHL Express opened its 36,500-square-meter Brussels hub today, quadrupling the integrator’s capacity for the region. The €140 million facility features automated sorting technology that allows later pick-up times, greater flexibility and higher reliability for Belgian shippers.

Capable of handling 42,000 shipments per hour, the Brussels hub is one of the largest facilities in DHL Express’ global network. “It also plays an important role in connecting companies from this region with the world,” said Ken Allen, CEO DHL Express.

The new facility offers air and ground links to a broad number of European destinations, as well as direct intercontinental connections to the Americas, the Middle East and Africa.
