DCL Logistics Marks Major Expansion With Largest Facility Acquisition in Perris, California

DCL Logistics, a fulfillment partner for fast-growing ecommerce brands, has expanded its national footprint with its largest facility to date, a newly acquired 165,000-square-foot Class A warehouse in Perris, California. The acquisition significantly bolsters the company’s Southern California capacity, bringing its regional footprint to over 320,000 square feet and reinforcing its ability to serve brands across the western United States.

Strategic Growth Amid Rising Demand

This expansion comes as DCL has tripled its shipping volume since 2023, driven by partnerships with prominent consumer brands spanning categories like CPG, beauty, health and wellness, and consumer electronics.

Southern California remains a strategic logistics hub due to its proximity to major West Coast ports, Mexico, and one of the largest U.S. consumer markets. By acquiring, rather than leasing, this facility, DCL aims to stabilize operating costs in a traditionally volatile real estate market, giving brands long-term predictability as they scale.

“Southern California continues to be a strategic location for our brands. By owning our own facilities, we can control costs more effectively and provide brands with the long-term stability they need,” said Dave Tu, President of DCL Logistics.

Technology and Automation at the Core

The Perris facility will be outfitted with DCL’s latest fulfillment technologies, including expanded conveyance systems, narrow-aisle automation, and robotics, enhancing throughput and accuracy, key capabilities for serving high-volume and complex fulfillment needs.

These investments align with broader trends in the logistics industry, where automation and smart fulfillment infrastructure are becoming essential to meet rising ecommerce demand while managing labor and cost pressures.

Building Resilience in a Shifting Ecommerce Landscape

The Perris expansion also reflects broader shifts affecting ecommerce logistics. Rising operating costs, new trade regulations, including changes to import thresholds, and evolving consumer delivery expectations are pushing brands to partner with fulfillment providers that can offer both scale and stability. DCL’s strategy of owning core facilities positions it to weather market cycles more effectively than many peers reliant on leased space.

The Perris location is a key node in DCL’s growing national network, which the company is developing to support near-national two-day ground delivery coverage, a service increasingly demanded by brands competing on customer experience.

Economic and Workforce Impact

Beyond logistics, the facility is expected to create more than 200 jobs in the Perris area, contributing to regional economic growth and expanding employment opportunities in the logistics and supply chain sector.

What This Means for Retailers and Brands

For emerging and established brands alike, DCL’s Perris hub represents more than additional square footage. It is a strategic asset that supports fulfillment reliability, speed, and scalability. As ecommerce brands navigate cost pressures and market complexity, partnerships with tech-forward 3PLs like DCL become critical to delivering performance while containing expense.

By investing in owned infrastructure and automation, DCL is signaling its long-term commitment to serving omnichannel brands with precision and operational resilience, a proposition that stands to benefit both retailers and end consumers in an increasingly demanding retail environment.
