Mytheresa opens new distribution center in Germany

Luxury e-commerce platform Mytheresa has opened a new state-of-the-art distribution center at Halle/Leipzig Airport in Germany, backed by a partnership with DHL. 

The 55,000 square meter distribution center, which complements Mytheresa’s existing one in Munich, is poised to strengthen the company’s capabilities and its position as a global leader in the luxury e-commerce business. It opens with a 1,300 square meter digital production studio designed to capture the most sought-after and curated luxury edit.

“Our new, state-of-the-art distribution center at Leipzig airport lays the foundations for future multi-year growth and service expansion for our business. It aligns perfectly with our strategic vision and strengthens Mytheresa’s position as a global leader in luxury,” said Mytheresa CEO, Michael Kliger.

The centre is strategically located in proximity to the Cargo Airport and is expected to significantly enhance Mytheresa’s global competitiveness and growth potential, ensuring streamlined international shipping and expedited deliveries.

Likewise, Mytheresa’s partnership with DHL Express will allow the platform to ship a minimum of 20% of all orders one day in advance. Returns will also be processed more efficiently, as they are delivered directly to Mytheresa’s distribution center by DHL. Mytheresa will offer same-day delivery to Munich and next-day delivery to other German cities and most European destinations.

“We are constantly improving our operations to provide a unique customer experience,” added Sebastian Dietzmann, Mytheresa COO.  

“The new facility will not only dramatically improve our service thanks to its unique location in direct adjacency to the international air freight hub of DHL, but it will also pro- vide ample capacity for the future growth of our business. We are improving speed, flexibility and cost, while we position Mytheresa for operational excellence.” 

As part of the centre opening, over 270 employees have already been hired, and the company plans to create more than 1,000 job opportunities at the location by 2030.
