Professional Party Logistics (PPL), a subsidiary of DHL Freight,
has opened a new parcel sorting in hub the Czech Republic . The facility, the
product of a 24.7 million Euro investment, is the largest of its kind in the
country and is expected to make parcel delivery in the Eastern European country
faster and more flexible than ever.
The new hub has increased sorting capacity drastically: it is
capable of handling up to 18,000 parcels per hour, compared to the former hub’s
4000 an hour capacity. The new facility also comprises 190 loading and
unloading ramps for trucks and vans and houses a rolling conveyor of almost 3km
in length which can travel up to 3 meters a second.
Stefano Arganese, CEO of DHL Freight in Eastern Europe said
"The need for a bigger and better parcel hub was driven by a continuous
growth of B2B and B2C parcel shipments in recent years. The new capacity and
the cutting edge sorting technology allow us to cope with the growing volume of
shipments and strengthen our position as a market leader for fast shipments in
the Czech Republic".
