As globalization continues to deepen, DHL Express has unveiled a strategic solution to enhance regional logistics efficiency and global connectivity through its latest investment in Indonesia. The logistics giant recently inaugurated a new facility in Semarang, Central Java, designed to meet growing international trade demands in the region.
The initial investment of 49 billion Indonesian rupiah (approximately €340,000) represents DHL's long-term commitment to the Indonesian market. Over the past six years, the company has invested more than 600 billion rupiah (€4.4 million) in the country, driving both business growth and local employment opportunities.
The 3,084-square-meter facility features advanced operational equipment including dual-view X-ray machines, explosive gas and trace detectors, and automated conveyor systems. These technological upgrades significantly improve processing efficiency while maintaining package security, enabling Central Java businesses to connect more effectively with global markets.
Security measures at the new site comply with Transported Asset Protection Association (TAPA) certification standards, demonstrating DHL's commitment to operational safety. The facility incorporates more than 100 time-stamped digital security cameras, fire and intrusion alarms, and restricted access zones.
This strategic expansion not only enhances Central Java's logistics capacity but also supports local businesses in international growth through modern infrastructure and security protocols. The investment underscores DHL's continued focus on the Indonesian market while boosting the region's competitiveness in global trade. Central Java enterprises can now access international customers more efficiently, creating new economic opportunities for the region.
