Construction begins on logistics complex to enhance connectivity in Northern Vietnam

Strategically located within Greater Hanoi, the campus offers direct access to the Hanoi - Hai Phong Expressway, connecting Noi Bai International Airport, Hanoi city center, and Hai Phong Port, the largest deep-sea port serving Northern Vietnam. This positions the 1.9 trillion VND (€63 million) facility as a critical hub for both domestic distribution and international trade, strengthening connectivity and supply chain efficiency across the region.

The campus also sits at the heart of a dynamic manufacturing corridor that continues to attract domestic and foreign investment across sectors such as electronics, industrial manufacturing, automotive and consumer goods.

The investment comes as Vietnam continues to strengthen its position as a vital node in global flows of trade, capital, and production. According to DHL’s latest Global Connectedness Report , globalization remains resilient, with cross-border flows continuing to expand. Vietnam stands out as one of the region’s most dynamic markets, benefiting from diversified trade partnerships, strong export performance, and growing attractiveness for foreign direct investment, particularly in manufacturing and tech sectors.

“Vietnam continues to be one of the most exciting growth markets in the region and this investment reflects our confidence in its future,” said Steve Walker, CEO, Thailand–Vietnam Cluster, DHL Supply Chain. “As our customers expand their manufacturing, sourcing and distribution networks, they need logistics partners that can scale with them. The DHL North Logistics Campus will help us meet that demand while delivering the high service standards and sustainability commitments our customers expect from DHL.”

With a total campus size of more than 82,500 square meters across four blocks, the DHL North Logistics Campus is designed to support long-term growth. Phase 1, expected to be completed in the first half of 2027, will deliver approximately 41,180 square meters of premium warehouse space across two blocks, with Phase 2 construction planned for the second half of 2028.

Built to international standards, the facility is designed to serve a broad range of industries including technology, automotive, industrial manufacturing, retail, consumer goods, healthcare and life sciences.

The campus will feature premium Grade-A specifications, including high-rack storage systems and warehouse clear heights of up to 11.9 meters, exceeding the typical market standard of around 10.5 meters. This enables higher storage density, greater operational efficiency and enhanced flexibility for customers with growing and increasingly sophisticated supply chain needs. Designed to DHL international standards and built for the future, the facility incorporates automation-ready infrastructure that can support next-generation warehouse technologies, intelligent material handling systems and digital supply chain solutions, helping customers improve productivity, resilience and long-term competitiveness.

In line with DHL Group’s strategic aspiration to be the Green Logistics of Choice for our customers, the campus will integrate rooftop solar photovoltaic systems, energy-efficient LED lighting, and infrastructure supporting electric-powered material handling equipment, helping customers advance their environmental sustainability goals while improving operational performance.

“The latest DHL Global Connectedness Report highlights Vietnam’s rising importance in global trade. Trade is Vietnam’s strongest pillar of global connectedness, ranking 9th worldwide, and the country is projected to achieve the fourth-largest absolute growth in merchandise trade globally between 2026 and 2030. These trends reinforce our confidence in Vietnam’s long-term prospects,” said Bertrand Juvigny, Managing Director, Vietnam, DHL Supply Chain. “Hung Yen is emerging as one of Northern Vietnam’s most strategic manufacturing and logistics locations, and this investment positions us closer to our customers and the region’s key growth corridors. As DHL Supply Chain’s largest premium Grade-A logistics campus in Southeast Asia, the facility is designed to support the next generation of supply chains through international-standard infrastructure, automation-ready capabilities and sustainable operations.”

The DHL North Logistics Campus further strengthens DHL Supply Chain's ability to deliver end-to-end logistics solutions while contributing to local economic development, job creation and a more connected and resilient supply chain ecosystem in Vietnam and beyond. It also shows DHL’s continued investment in Vietnam, including recent expansions such as the Gateway in Hanoi and Container Freight Stations in Hai Phong.
