Delivery firm DPD Ireland said today that a \u20ac10m investment by the company to expand its warehousing and logistics capabilities will create 200 jobs.<\/p>\n
DPD said the expansion is driven by continued strong performance across all areas of its business, including next-day delivery, logistics services and Out of Home solutions.<\/p>\n
The company is investing \u20ac10m in developing a second distribution hub, which will be located at Gateway Logistics Park, Newlands Cross on the Naas Road in Dublin 22.<\/p>\n
It said the “strategic expansion” will enable DPD Ireland to meet increasing parcel volumes and further enhance service capacity nationwide.<\/p>\n
DPD said the new 200 jobs will be in the areas of operations, drivers and administration.<\/p>\n
The company will also introduce 270 autonomous robots to replace its conveyor operations and enhance its sorting capabilities. As a result, up to 10,000 parcels will be handled every hour.<\/p>\n
The new distribution hub will be fully operational by October 2026.<\/p>\n
“This expansion is a direct result of the 99% service level we consistently deliver to our customers. Their trust and continued support have enabled our growth across all areas of the business,” DPD’s chief executive Des Travers said.<\/p>\n
“This new hub strongly positions us to meet rising parcel delivery demand and ensures that we continue to provide the high level of service that our customers expect, year-round. It is an exciting step forward for DPD Ireland as we build for the future,” he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Delivery firm DPD Ireland said today that a \u20ac10m investment by the company to expand its warehousing and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":552517,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[72,61,60],"class_list":["post-552516","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/552516","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=552516"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/552516\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/552517"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=552516"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=552516"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=552516"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
