DHL Freight has moved its operations in the Western part of Denmark to a brand new terminal in Taulov, near Kolding.
The facility has a floor space of 5,700 square meters and is located in proximity to the logistically important highways E20 and E45 and was inaugurated on June 1.
Ole Moerk, Head of DHL Freight Denmark said that "We decided to consolidate our three cross dock operations in Skanderborg, Padborg and Esbjerg early in 2012. The new state-of-the-art terminal will not just benefit us by reducing complexity and costs, it's excellent access to Denmark's most important trade lanes will also improve efficiency and service quality for our customers."
The new terminal is located in the industrial area of Taulov. It is built on a total area of 38,000 square meters, offering potential for further expansion. The logistics facility is equipped with 42 docks, enabling DHL Freight to cover all their LTL pick-ups and deliveries across the Western part of Denmark and also handling the domestic full and part load business.
Besides the new facility in Taulov, DHL Freight also operates further facilities in Denmark with a total of 12,000 square meters, located in Padborg, Aalborg and Brøndby. The road freight provider operates a fleet of 500 vehicles in Denmark and chiefly serves companies from the Energy, Engineering & Manufacturing, Life Science & Healthcare and Technology sectors.
