DHL Investing Nearly $120 Million in Johnson County

German logistics company DHL Supply Chain is investing nearly $120 million in the 980,000-square-foot distribution facility it acquired last year in Whiteland, with plans to create as many as 676 jobs by 2027. The commitment for new hires is a nearly 70% increase from when the project was first announced in June 2022.

The company, doing business as subsidiary Exel Inc., is set to receive $5.5 million in conditional state tax credits from the Indiana Economic Development Corp., based on its job-creation and investment plans.

In May, DHL acquired the mammoth structure at 45 Mission Road in Whiteland, off Interstate 65 and Whiteland Road, for $70.7 million. It was built by Kansas City-based Jones Development, master developer of the 2.4 million-square-foot Whiteland Exchange Business Park.

Jones first began working on the business park in 2019, and the complex has grown to encompass five buildings, including a 530,000-square-foot fulfillment center for Amazon and another facility for Amcor, a plastics company.
