The company provides industrial supply chain management, warehousing, transportation, and value-added logistics services. The Real Estate Solutions generates, invests in and develops turnkey warehousing solutions for customers.

“We are excited that DHL Supply Chain is making this major investment in Stafford County, bringing nearly 600 new jobs to the Commonwealth,” said Secretary of Commerce and Trade Brian Ball. “Virginia’s logistics infrastructure provides an ideal location for companies to get products into the hands of their customers quickly, and we are confident DHL’s state-of-the-art distribution center off Interstate 95 will thrive.”

DHL Supply Chain Head of Real Estate Americas Carl DeLuca said Virginia has strong transport links catering to all modes of transport, a high-quality workforce and an above-average level of GDP per capita, contributing to an attractive investment environment.

“We are excited to build on the company’s presence in this market, and are grateful to Governor Northam and his team, as well as the local authority of Stafford County, for the support they have provided on this project,” he said.

In addition to the state grant, the company is also eligible to receive benefits from the Major Business Facility Job Tax Credit for new, full-time jobs created. Funding and services to support employee training activities will be provided through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program.
