We will be able to meet it thanks to the new DHL logistics center, which will not only significantly increase the available warehouse space but will also offer advanced, comprehensive cargo handling services. – said Romiel Kinber, head of DHL Latvia. – The center has been designed in such a way that it can double the scope of its operations, and combining all DHL divisions in one location will allow for offering the highest quality services.
