An Taoiseach Enda Kenny officially opened DPD Ireland’s newly expanded sortation facility at its headquarters in Athlone. The extensive warehouse unit has doubled in size from 50,000 to 100,000 sq ft and the expansion will enable the company to triple its daily parcel handling capacity from 50,000 to 150,000.
Commenting at the unveiling ceremony, Enda Kenny said: “DPD’s investment of over €13m in this new facility is testament to the growth and confidence in our economy. It is great to see DPD double their capacity and treble their daily parcel handling capacity, especially here in Athlone. The creation of approximately 100 new jobs, as well as the contribution to the local economy in other areas, is extremely welcome. The strength of DPD’s business is indicative of the increasing importance of on-line trade but also recovery in our economy. The growth we’re experiencing is strong and broad based. Employment continues to grow with more than 190,000 new jobs created since we launched the Action Plan for Jobs in 2012.”
Brendan O’Neill, Chief Executive of DPD Ireland added: “In line with our business vision, demand has increased by almost 20% over the last twelve months. The expanded premises allows us to cater for the growing needs of our customers. Along with the current expansion we have extended our working week to six days which is an example of our continued commitment to our customers.”
