DHL Supply Chain is set to open a 26,600 m² carbon‑neutral logistics centre in Rheinbach, Germany, in August 2026, strengthening its European network and supporting more resilient, flexible supply chains. The facility will provide modern warehousing and transshipment capabilities, designed to meet diverse customer needs, from traditional logistics to automated processes.
Sustainability is at the core of the project. The centre will feature a 1 MWp photovoltaic system, battery storage, heat pumps, and energy‑optimised LED lighting, enabling carbon‑neutral operation. It is being built to the Gold Standard of the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB), reflecting DHL’s commitment to environmentally responsible logistics.
Strategically located with access to the A61 motorway and near Cologne/Bonn and Düsseldorf airports, the hub will improve delivery efficiency and reduce supply chain vulnerability. Katrin Hölter, CEO DHL Supply Chain Germany & Alps, said the site “makes our customers’ supply chains less susceptible to disruptions and supports efficient, climate‑friendly logistics.”
DHL Supply Chain’s decision to locate here is another significant milestone in the ongoing development of the Wolbersacker business park and underscores Rheinbach’s appeal to companies from a wide range of industries, thanks to its outstanding location profile. DHL Supply Chain is not only setting new benchmarks in modern, sustainable construction; it is also creating additional jobs and strengthening the regional economy,
says Rheinbach’s mayor, Dr. Daniel Phiesel.
The Rheinbach centre underscores DHL’s ongoing investment in sustainable, future-ready logistics infrastructure, combining operational efficiency with environmental responsibility.
