Yamaha Motor Manufacturing Corporation Partners with DHL to Strengthen Supply Chain Operations

NEWNAN, Ga., July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Yamaha Motor Manufacturing Corporation (YMMC) is proud to announce a strategic partnership with DHL Supply Chain to enhance its internal distribution operations. This transition, tentatively on October 5, 2025, will allow YMMC to expand capacity, improve logistics transparency, and accelerate delivery to customers — all without disrupting current service levels to customers.

As part of the partnership, approximately 175 YMMC team members will transition to the DHL team and continue supporting distribution operations. These team members will remain on-site and be critical to the success of this next phase in YMMC's growth and transformation.

"This partnership with DHL is a forward-looking step in making our supply chain more agile, efficient, and scalable for future growth," said Bob Brown, President and CEO of YMMC. "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."

YMMC's decision to collaborate with a global logistics leader like DHL underscores its long-term commitment to operational excellence. DHL brings proven expertise in distribution, material handling, and inventory management — all critical to supporting Yamaha's evolving market needs.

In 2024, YMMC assembled over 150,000 vehicles for worldwide distribution at its Newnan, Georgia facility — including Side-by-Sides, ATVs, WaveRunners, and Golf Cars. With this new partnership, YMMC aims to ensure the entire value chain continues to meet the highest standards of performance and reliability.

This transition reflects YMMC's long-term strategy to build a more responsive and scalable supply chain. With DHL's on-site support and logistics expertise, YMMC is well-positioned to strengthen reliability, increase flexibility, and continue delivering exceptional service to customers across all markets.

*Kando is a Japanese word for the simultaneous feelings of deep satisfaction and intense excitement that we experience when we encounter something of exceptional value.

Yamaha Motor Manufacturing Company (YMMC) employs more than 2,000 metro Atlanta residents to design and build recreational vehicles at its Newnan manufacturing facilities. All of the world's Yamaha golf cars, Side-by-Sides, as well as most of its WaveRunners and ATVs are manufactured at the plant in Coweta County, Georgia.
