DHL plans to invest HK$360 million to expand its operations into a single multi-user facility for DHL Supply Chain to cater for growth in Hong Kong
Scheduled for completion in January 2012, DHL Supply Chain will occupy at least 25% of the Interlink facility located in Tsing Yi
Situated between the container ports and Hong Kong International Airport, Interlink will be located at the heart of the logistics and port hub, offering immediate access to Tsing Yi Road, which is just 2 km to Kwai Chung Container Port, 20 km to Hong Kong International Airport, and 25 km to the Shenzhen border
Once completed, the DHL Supply Chain facility will function as one of the primary Asia-Pacific distribution centres for DHL Supply Chain's established business in the fashion & apparel industry It will supply European-made garments across the Asian market from Beijing to Sydney to Singapore
The facility will also offer value-added technical services on-site, such as product regionalisation, quality-check and modular repair services
In recent years, DHL Supply Chain has also witnessed increasing demand from the healthcare sector To cater to growing customer needs, DHL Supply Chain will offer value-added services such as Bill of Material (BOM) creation, co-packing, labelling and territory-wide distribution for customers
In line with DHL's GoGreen strategy, the company has chosen Interlink partly because of its green building measures Interlink will be built in compliance with the Hong Kong Building Environments Assessment Method (HKBEAM) and Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) environmental assessment methods, with the aim of becoming the first building of its kind to obtain such accreditations in Hong Kong
