At the Shed Show last month Michael Samuels, EMEA strategy & business planning director at DHL Exel Supply Chain said that his company had been too consumer centric in the past when locating its warehouses across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
He said that the company was undergoing a review of its properties and would expect to increasingly rely on its ‘Logistics Campus’ design across the region. The company has already started developing a campus at Unna in Germany.
Samuels also stated that DHL would be looking for an additional five million sq m of space over the next five years in the EMEA region.
