DHL Adds 10 Warehouses in North America to serve AI Data Centers

DHL Supply Chain announced on March 19 the addition of 10 dedicated warehouse sites across North America, adding more than 7 million sq ft of logistics capacity set to go live by end of 2026. The expansion targets hyperscale and colocation data center operators facing compressed build schedules and complex, cross-border supply chains.

The new facilities will offer rack pre-configuration, white-glove handling of servers, power modules, and networking equipment, and specialized transport for oversized or sensitive components.

By moving integration and testing out of active construction zones and into controlled warehouse environments, DHL said it aims to reduce on-site complexity and limit the risk of installation delays. DHL Supply Chain is also supporting construction logistics for new data center mega-campuses in the region.

"Hyperscalers are creating the digital backbone of the AI era, and they are doing so at extraordinary speed," Hendrik Venter, Global CEO of DHL Supply Chain, said. "Our expanded North America footprint is purpose-built to match that pace-from high-security warehousing and configuration services to white-glove handling and 24/7 service-logistics readiness."
