DHL Express, the world’s leading provider of international shipping services, has recently opened a new retail shipping store in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Covering 1,500 sq. ft., this facility is the second fully-branded DHL company-owned retail store in Minneapolis, providing convenient access to industry-leading shipping services in the area.

As Minneapolis experiences rapid international population and business growth, this retail location will cater to increasing B2C and B2B shipping demands. This includes a sizable immigrant community from East Africa (Somalia & Ethiopia), Mexico, India, and Asia, who rely on international shipping to stay connected with their native countries.

“Minneapolis and its surrounding cities have seen steady population growth for years, attracting individuals and businesses from across the world,” said Aaron Gallagher, SVP Commercial for DHL Express U.S. “North Minneapolis is the ideal market for our next DHL-owned retail location, where we can provide local customers with more accessible options and meet their growing international shipping needs.”

The new DHL ServicePoint, conveniently located at 2145 Lowry Avenue, North Minneapolis, MN 55411, offers time- or day-definite international and domestic U.S. shipping services for both account and non-account holders. DHL’s Certified International Specialists make importing into the U.S., exporting to over 220 countries and territories, or shipping almost anywhere within the U.S. easy. Customers can also track shipments and manage delivery options with DHL On Demand Delivery via our mobile app.

The new facility features both staffed assistance and a self-service kiosk, as well as supplies such as bubble wrap, packing tape, and DHL-branded boxes for an enhanced retail experience.

In addition to company-owned stores, over 3,500 independently owned DHL ServicePoint Partner stores operate in the U.S. market. These partners offer DHL Express international express shipping services, global knowledge, and expert advice to help businesses reach the international marketplace.

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs. For complete wheel specs and product details check out the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster Landing Page and all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster Landing Page.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC (https://www.newhorizon.ai), a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.

Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
