DPD Ireland to Create 200 Jobs in €10m Expansion

DPD Ireland said it will invest €10m to build a second distribution hub, a move that creates 200 jobs. The company pointed to strong demand across its next-day delivery and Out of Home solutions as the driver.

The new hub, located at Gateway Logistics Park in Dublin 22, will add sorting capacity for rising parcel volumes. DPD will also deploy 270 autonomous robots to replace conveyor operations, boosting throughput to 10,000 parcels per hour.

Chief executive Des Travers said the investment reflects the 99% service level the company has maintained. “Their trust and continued support have enabled our growth across all areas of the business,” he said. “This new hub strongly positions us to meet rising parcel delivery demand.”

The hub is scheduled to be fully operational by October 2026. The 200 jobs will cover operations and administration, including driver positions.
