DCL Logistics Expands National Footprint With Largest Facility Acquisition, Tripling Order Volume

With its biggest facility purchase to date and 300 percent growth in order volume in recent years, the modern 3PL scales to meet rising demand from high-growth brands like Magic Spoon and Therabody.

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DCL Logistics, a leading fulfillment partner for modern ecommerce brands, today announced its newest facility acquisition, adding a 165,000 square foot Class A building in Perris, CA and expanding its Southern California footprint to more than 320,000 square feet. This expansion comes as DCL has increased shipping volume more than 300% since 2023, as high-growth brands turn to the company for fulfillment at scale.

As brands face rising costs, tariff pressures, and the elimination of de minimis, DCL’s expanded capacity and long-term facility ownership provide the stability and efficiency needed to navigate an increasingly complex ecommerce landscape. The new Class A facility will feature all of DCL’s latest automation technologies: expanded conveyance, narrow aisle, and inventory robotics. This expanded capacity will serve brands in CPG, beauty, health and wellness and consumer electronics. The facility is expected to create 200+ jobs and further strengthen DCL’s national network.

“Southern California continues to be a strategic location for our brands, with direct access to West Coast ports, Mexico, and one of the largest consumer markets in the country,” said Dave Tu, President of DCL Logistics. “At the same time, warehouse costs in the region remain unpredictable. By acquiring and owning our own facilities, we can control those costs more effectively and provide brands with the long-term stability they need as they plan years ahead.”

Over the past five years, DCL has accelerated from steady expansion into transformative growth, tripling its shipping volume since 2023 and scaling its national network to reach all U.S. consumers with two-day ground delivery. This momentum comes from DCL’s investment in automation and technology, and its close partnerships with brands across DTC, retail, and marketplaces. As cost pressures and trade policies reshape ecommerce, DCL’s growth expands the infrastructure that helps brands scale efficiently and remain resilient.

Recent milestones include:

  • Peak-season and year-round scale, with a 63% year-over-year increase in orders shipped during the November–December 2025 peak and a 46% increase in total orders shipped across 2025
  • Customer partnerships with high-growth brands such as Magic Spoon, Therabody, Shokz, Aura Frame, and Willow
  • Multi-industry fulfillment across consumer electronics, enterprise hardware, health and wellness, beauty, and pet products, with capabilities ranging from temperature-sensitive storage to subscription box management
  • Automation upgrades such as automated inventory counting robots, narrow-aisle, and advanced conveyance and print-and-apply systems to increase speed and capacity
  • Security investments include ISO-certified controls and GDPR and HIPAA-compliant IT infrastructure, ensuring robust protection of both physical goods and digital data.
  • AI-driven platforms include video-based quality controls, autonomous inventory counting, and the launch of SelectShip for real-time shipping optimization engine

“As brands expand across direct-to-consumer, retail, and marketplaces, they need a fulfillment partner who can scale with them while protecting the customer experience,” said Brian Tu, Chief Revenue Officer at DCL Logistics. “Our growth is about giving brands the flexibility and resilience to reach consumers wherever they shop, backed by the high-touch model that has always set DCL apart.”

Looking ahead, DCL plans to expand with larger footprints in not only Southern California, but also in the Northeast and Louisville in 2026 and 2027, extending capacity and coast-to-coast coverage. Together these additions will bring the company’s footprint to more than 1 million square feet and provide the scale and resilience needed to help brands navigate rising costs and greater complexity in fulfillment.

“For more than 40 years, we’ve built DCL on a simple principle: invest in the infrastructure and operational excellence that give our customers long-term stability,” said Norman Tu, CEO and Founder of DCL Logistics. “Owning our facilities allows us to stay agile, customize operations, and deliver the scale, resilience, and service our customers depend on, year after year.”
