PLANTATION, Fla. -- DHL, the world's leading express delivery and logistics company, said it will open its new international gateway in Southern California Southern California, also colloquially known as SoCal, is the southern portion of the U.S. state of California. Centered on the cities of Los Angeles and San Diego, Southern California is home to nearly 24 million people and is the nation's second most populated region,  today, to enhance service quality and meet the growing needs of DHL customers shipping to and from Asia-Pacific and the Western United States Noun 1. western United States - the region of the United States lying to the west of the Mississippi River

To establish the new International Gateway operation, DHL has invested nearly $3 million at its West Coast Distribution Facility in Riverside, Calif., adding on-site offices specifically for providing customs-processing and clearance functions related to DHL international shipments upon arrival. The newly expanded operation will come fully online with the arrival on Tuesday, March 27, of a flight from DHL's Central Asia SuperHub in Hong Kong Hong Kong (hŏng kŏng), Mandarin Xianggang, special administrative region of China, formerly a British crown colony (2005 est. pop. 6,899,000), land area 422 sq mi (1,092 sq km), adjacent to Guangdong prov.  into the facility.

 and air hub personnel will process letters and packages as they are off loaded from the Asia-Pacific flight and channeled directly into the DHL West Coast distribution network, making for faster door-to-door delivery of DHL customer shipments from Asia-Pacific to the Western U.S.

"Customers doing business in the world's fastest-growing markets need an efficient, reliable network that allows them to grow their shipments in the active U.S.-Asia Pacific trade lane. This new gateway will provide opportunities for continued growth between West Coast and Asian markets," said John Cameron John Cameron may refer to:

, executive vice president of Operations for DHL. "DHL is pleased to be able to leverage the resources of our network to provide West Coast customers with practical benefits in door-to-door service," Cameron added.

DHL began operations at its West Coast Distribution Facility in 2005, following a $70 million investment in the lease and development of a new facility on the site of the March Air Reserve Base in Riverside. The facility is strategically located to offer greater connectivity within DHL's extensive domestic pickup and delivery network, for both DHL ground and air express services.

The Asia-Pacific flight marks the first international flight for DHL's West Coast Distribution Facility. A total of seven domestic daily flights and one international flight are now part of the air operations schedule at the Riverside facility.

The opening of DHL's sixth U.S. International Gateway will be the company's third in California. In addition to the new international gateway operation in Riverside, DHL maintains five other U.S. gateways operations in Wilmington, Ohio For other places with the same name, see Wilmington (disambiguation).

Processing customer imports or exports shipments at the Riverside facility will provide an additional 90 minutes to transport shipments through the DHL U.S. domestic network, and will enable DHL to facilitate additional air cargo connections to other parts of Asia through a network of international flights established last year into JFK International Airport. These additions include two flights daily from DHL's Central Asia SuperHub in Hong Kong, and once-daily flights from DHL hubs in Bangkok, Thailand; Singapore and Taipei, Taiwan.

DHL's $3 million investment in a new International Gateway at DHL's West Coast Distribution Facility is one of many initiatives DHL has undertaken to improve U.S. network efficiencies and connectivity system-wide. DHL's network investment program has also included an expanded primary air and ground hub in Wilmington, Ohio, seven new Regional Sort Centers, and the development of a $120 million new, state-of-the-art East Coast Distribution Facility in Allentown, Pa.
