FIVES EQUIPS DPD’S NEW PARCEL HUB WITH AUTOMATED SORTING SOLUTION

In June, DPD officially opened their new parcel distribution hub in Loures, Portugal. With a total area of 12,000 square meters, this new hub, the largest in the country, is part of a DPD’s expansion plan in response to their growth.

In 2021, DPD delivered 23.8 million parcels in Portugal, an increase of 10.8% compared to the previous year, due to the significant and gradual increase of e-commerce in the country. This trend continued in 2022, so DPD decided to invest in an ambitious plan consisting of the construction of the new parcel hub in Loures, in the Lisbon region, to further enhance their service delivery.
