DHL Supply Chain opens logistics centre for ExxonMobil 31 October 2017

DHL Supply Chain, in partnership with ExxonMobil Global Services Co., has opened a new logistics centre in Baytown, Texas, US. The 14,864 m2 facility will help ExxonMobil reduce inventory and optimise logistics for six refineries and chemical plants by serving as a regional distribution centre for the maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) supplies that maintain production levels.

The Baytown logistics centre combines several of ExxonMobil's nearby facilities that were managing warehousing and MRO inventory separately. The move is expected to generate a 15.0% supply chain cost reduction by eliminating regional inventory duplications and further optimizing the Company's supply chain.

The facility will be fully operational by mid-December.

DHL Supply Chain has been an ExxonMobil supply chain partner since 2007. The partners currently manage 10 facilities together in the US that account for 90.0% of ExxonMobil's US MRO inventory.
