Logistics Insight Asia - Top Story, 6/5/2009

DHL has announced the inauguration of its Taipei Gateway located at the Farglory Free Trade Zone of the Taoyuan International Airport. The total investment was NT$210 million (US$6.4 million).

Shipment handling capacity at the gateway will be tripled, from 3,600 to 11,000 pieces per hour. The total size of the gateway is four times that of the previous facility, increasing from 3,867 square meters to 13,515 square meters – an equivalent of 46 tennis courts.

The gateway houses a 24-hour drop-off center where customers will receive assistance from a dedicated team and greater convenience to send their shipments using DHL’s Express services anytime of the day. The drop-off cut-off time can be extended for up to two hours for shipments that are delivered directly to the gateway.
