Gavin Murdoch, MD Network Transport Solutions, DHL Supply Chain UK&I said: “We are very proud of our colleagues for going above and beyond to deliver a high-quality warehousing solution for Hilti in a limited timeframe.

“Hilti is a valued strategic global partner, and we are delighted to be supporting their Ireland operation.”

The DHL Express division will provide exceptional market-leading Express delivery service, reinforced by the industry's largest local service support team.

“Additionally, Hilti gains access to innovative transport solutions from DHL's Same Day Services for specialized deliveries beyond the Express option.  We look forward to working closely with Hilti and our sister company DHL Supply Chain on this new partnership.
