　　“ADS 致力于满足对我们产品和解决方案不断增长的需求，并通过高质量、灵活和快速的服务物流平台扩大我们的影响范围，以执行我们更好地为客户服务的使命，”总裁兼执行官 Scott Barbour 说排水系统官员。“与 DHL Supply Chain 合作，我们有一个激动人心的机会，可以进一步加强我们的服务，并通过执行我们的材料转换和水管理解决方案战略来支持我们公司实现高于市场增长的目标。”

　　DHL Supply Chain, headquartered in Westerville, OH, the Americas leader in contract logistics and part of Deutsche Post DHL Group, and Advanced Drainage Systems (ADS), a leading provider of innovative water management solutions products used in the storm water and on-site septic wastewater industries, are expanding their existing strategic partnership. DHL will provide ADS its best-in-class transport and logistics suite of services to execute warehousing, fleet, and eCommerce solutions enhancing ADS’s production capabilities while enabling ADS to continue to deliver the necessary service levels to its customers.

　　ADS, based in Hilliard, OH, is expanding its distribution footprint amidst a pandemic-sparked surge in growth that has seen homeowners investing in DIY renovations and repairs, the largest uptick in building permits since 2006, and municipalities investing in infrastructure.

　　In 2019, DHL and ADS opened their first retail fulfillment center in Wilkes-Barre, PA to service customers in the northeast. The Wilkes-Barre facility services over 600 DIY retail stores with a 16 truck dedicated fleet. After a successful launch of the 100,000-square-foot facility in Wilkes-Barre, DHL and ADS have chosen to expand the program.

　　The two companies will invest in DHL-operated facilities in Greer, SC, and Middletown, OH, to support ADS’s retail business, freeing up capacity for ADS to better support its commercial trade business. DHL will manage the new 131,000-square-foot facility in Greer and provide a 28 truck dedicated fleet to enable customized delivery to more than 700 DIY retail locations across the Southeast. Through advanced tools and digitalization efforts, the two companies will be able to reduce the carbon footprint of ADS deliveries by optimizing trailer space and implementing dynamic routing and round trip matching to reduce transportation miles.
