DHL Global Forwarding cold chain expansion

Overview

DHL Global Forwarding has transitioned its perishables operations into a unified global strategy, moving from country-specific management toward providing end-to-end solutions. This includes the use of specialized facilities, such as a 24,000 m² warehouse near Schiphol Airport with dedicated temperature-controlled areas and 24/7 monitoring to ensure cold chain integrity.

Building on this strategic shift, the company has expanded its Health Logistics Cold Chain Network by establishing six bi-directional air corridors. These new routes connect North America and Europe to pharmaceutical hubs in Asia, including Shanghai, Singapore, Tokyo Narita, and Seoul Incheon. To support the transport of vaccines, biologics, and clinical trial materials, DHL is utilizing Boeing 777 freighters with multiple temperature compartments alongside thermal blanket solutions and phase change materials.
