The new facility covers 38,000 square metres and will offer storage and customised value-added logistics services.
DHL Freight actually celebrated the grand opening of the new warehouse in the Manisa Organised Industrial Zone, near Izmir, on July 5. The facility, which represents an investment in the high single-digit million euros, was built as a response to increasing customer demand in line with a growing economy and logistics industry in Turkey. For the operation of the facility, the company has created ten new jobs, which will swell staff numbers to around 50 in all.
Companies in the region of Manisa export to more than 100 countries worldwide and in 2017 posted export volumes worth nearly €3.5bn. This makes Manisa one of the top ten export cities in Turkey.
