New DHL Facility to Power Australia’s Technology and Automotive Sectors
DHL Supply Chain Australia (DHL) has officially opened its newest warehouse facility in Erskine Park, New South Wales, marking a significant milestone in its commitment to supporting the evolving logistics requirements of Australia’s technology and automotive sectors.
The 21,078 square metre warehouse, strategically located in Western Sydney, enhances DHL’s national distribution capabilities to best serve customer requirements and offers proximity to the upcoming DHL transport hub.
The facility offers ambient storage with selective racking and block stack areas, eight recessed docks, six on-grade doors, and a mezzanine for rework and value-added services. Examples of built-in measures include several energy and resource efficient features such as 256 kWp rooftop solar panels that reduce grid electricity reliance, rainwater harvesting for non-potable uses, LED lighting with efficient controls to reduce electricity consumption, and EV charging.
Javier Bilbao, CEO DHL Supply Chain Asia Pacific, who visited Australia for the official site opening, said: “Australia is a key market for us, and we remain committed to supporting the country’s growth, including its technology and automotive sectors. On the technology part, businesses in Australia have doubled their spending on data centres in just six months last year, and we have solutions that can help them. Likewise, we see growth in the consumer demand for the automotive sector, with nearly 99,000 new vehicles sold in 2025 and increasing aftermarket requirements.”
“Our Strategy 2030 focuses on delivering value to our customers, and we’ve been investing ahead of the curve in the region to strengthen supply chain resiliency and flexibility by expanding warehouse capacity and future-proofing logistics centres,” Bilbao added.
Steve Thompsett, CEO DHL Supply Chain Australia, added: “The Erskine Park new facility reflects our ongoing investment in innovation, sustainability, and infrastructure. It’s purpose-built to support reverse-logistics operations and deliver high-performance logistics solutions for our customers as well as a great site for our workforce. It unlocks new opportunities for growth, agility, and customer service excellence.”
The Erskine Park facility is a multi-user site serving more than five customers, including key players in the consumer electronics, white goods, and automotive space. It supports both B2B and B2C operations with advanced reverse logistics services, including supply chain circularity with returns management, returns shipping, and technical services such as consumer electronics inspection and spare parts returns.
