DHL (XETR: DHL) Supply Chain Australia has been appointed as a strategic third-party logistics partner for global technology provider Metso (HEL:METSO) to improve energy and resources efficiency for the mining industry.
Under the agreement, DHL will manage Metso’s warehousing operations from Berrinba in Brisbane, supporting inbound logistics, storage and outbound movement of equipment and machinery critical to Australia’s mining industry.

“This partnership reflects the trust in DHL’s proven capabilities in the mining sector and our commitment to supporting Metso’s long-term strategy and presence in Australia,” Thompsett says.
Serving Australian customers effectively
Metso Vice President for Australia East Gavin Pasin says the company’s new facility in Queensland enables it to meet increased warehousing capacity requirements and enhance its ability to serve customers more effectively.
