The newly opened site represents a NZ$90 million ($50 million) investment, including NZ$10 million ($5.6 million) in automation featuring 41 Geekplus robots, the largest Goods-to-Person robotic fleet operated in New Zealand. The installation, delivered in partnership with local automation integrator Automate-X, supported the installation, testing, and on-site training to ensure seamless operations. The advanced automation will significantly enhance DHL’s service capabilities, enabling faster, safer, and more efficient distribution of critical healthcare products nationwide.
