DHL eCommerce has inaugurated a new, advanced automated sorting system at its CIM Vallès facility in Barcelona, an action that positions the company as an essential logistics player both nationally and internationally. With an investment of 17 million euros, the new infrastructure doubles the previous sorting capacity, allowing up to 17,000 packages to be processed per hour.
The inauguration event was attended by more than 130 guests, including customers and notable institutional figures such as Miquel Sàmper, the Councilor for Business and Labor for the Catalonia Government, and Laura Oliver, the Councilor for Local Development for the Santa Perpètua de Mogoda City Council. DHL’s senior management was also represented by Pablo Ciano, Global CEO of DHL eCommerce, and Sergio Del Casale, CEO of Iberia.
Sergio Del Casale highlighted the challenges involved in installing the system without disrupting operations. “We are committed to providing the best service, and this infrastructure reflects that commitment,” he stated. Meanwhile, Pablo Ciano emphasized the importance of this investment in a context where Spain ranks fourth in Europe in terms of eCommerce revenue, underscoring the company’s commitment to sustainable development.
The original facility, which had been operational since 1997, has been upgraded to optimize package sorting efficiency, a process that required complex coordination of teams. The building covers a total area of 56,600 square meters, featuring extensive storage and office spaces, and currently employs over 400 people out of a total of 1,800 in DHL eCommerce Iberia.
The location in CIM Vallès makes this site one of the most important logistics nodes in Catalonia, facilitating the receipt, reclassification, and distribution of shipments from various service centers across the peninsula.
Local authorities have expressed their satisfaction with DHL’s presence in the region, underscoring the importance of logistics in today’s economy and the company’s efforts to innovate and adapt to market demands. The Councilor for Business and Labor also highlighted DHL’s commitment to achieving a carbon-neutral operation by 2050, indicating that the Catalonia Government is developing plans to promote the use of electric vehicles in the sector.
With this significant investment, DHL eCommerce reaffirms its dedication to technology, digitization, and sustainability, aiming to adapt to the growth of eCommerce and the increase in parcel shipment volumes.
