Newnan, Georgia- Yamaha Motor Manufacturing Corporation (YMMC) has announced a strategic partnership with DHL Supply Chain to strengthen and modernize its internal distribution operations. The transition, scheduled to begin on October 5, 2025, is aimed at increasing capacity, enhancing supply chain visibility, and accelerating delivery times—without impacting existing service levels.
As part of the transition, approximately 175 YMMC team members will join the DHL team while continuing their current roles onsite. Their experience and continuity will play a vital role in ensuring a smooth and successful transformation.
YMMC’s collaboration with DHL, a global leader in logistics and supply chain management, underscores its commitment to operational excellence. DHL’s proven expertise in distribution, inventory control, and material handling will support Yamaha’s expanding and evolving market demands.
In 2024 alone, YMMC’s Newnan, Georgia facility produced more than 150,000 vehicles for global distribution, including Side-by-Sides, ATVs, WaveRunners, and Golf Cars. This new partnership ensures that Yamaha’s full value chain remains efficient, reliable, and responsive to future growth.
This move aligns with YMMC’s long-term strategy to build a more scalable and resilient supply chain. With DHL’s support and on-site collaboration, Yamaha aims to maintain high standards of performance, flexibility, and customer satisfaction.
Mr. Bob Brown, President and CEO of YMMC, said, "This partnership with DHL is a forward-looking step in making our supply chain more agile, efficient, and scalable for future growth. By enhancing our internal logistics capabilities, we're able to focus even more on our core strength — world-class manufacturing and creating Kando for our customers."
