DHL subsidiary opens hub in Czech Republic

   A fully owned subsidiary of DHL Freight, Professional Parcel Logistics, has opened a 24.7-million-euro ($33.4 million) parcel hub in the Czech Republic.
   The 50,000-square-meter development will allow PPL to increase its hourly capacity by 10,000 parcels.  
   “The need for a bigger and better parcel hub was driven by a continuous growth of B2B and B2C parcel shipments in recent years,” DHL Freight’s Stefano Arganese said in a statement. “The new capacity and the cutting edge sorting technology allow us to cope with the growing volume of shipments and strengthen our position as a market leader for fast shipments in the Czech Republic.”
