DHL Supply Chain has announced a bold €500 million investment aimed at expanding and modernizing its infrastructure in Latin America by 2028. The initiative targets rapid growth in e-commerce, manufacturing, and nearshoring throughout Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Chile.
The investment will fund the construction of 12 new logistics hubs, the digitization of warehouse operations, and the deployment of electric delivery fleets to support DHL’s global decarbonization goals.
“Latin America is no longer an emerging logistics market—it’s a strategic cornerstone of global trade,” said Oscar de Bok, CEO of DHL Supply Chain. “This investment is about building capacity, resilience, and local expertise.”
Project Highlights:
•3 new mega-warehouses in São Paulo, Guadalajara, and Bogotá
•Smart automation upgrades to existing fulfillment centers
•Green logistics pilots involving solar-powered depots and electric trucks
•Creation of over 5,000 new jobs in the region
In parallel, DHL will launch training programs in logistics technology and sustainable operations in partnership with universities across the region.
This move comes as U.S. and European companies accelerate nearshoring strategies, shifting sourcing away from Asia to Latin America due to geopolitical shifts and supply chain disruptions.
With this expansion, DHL positions itself as a dominant player in the regional logistics landscape, aiming to become the partner of choice for scalable, sustainable delivery solutions across the Americas.
