HAMILTON TOWNSHIP, N.J., June 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — HRP Group (HRP) today announced the successful operations commencement of Dynamic Marketing Incorporated (DMI), now doing business as DMI Appliance Group, at HRP Mercer Logistics Park, a 132-acre, 1.23 million square foot sustainably-built logistics hub in Hamilton Township, NJ. DMI occupies Building 1 on the logistics campus, which measures 846,078 square feet. To celebrate the start of the partnership between the two companies, HRP and DMI were joined by Hamilton Township Mayor Jeff Martin and local officials and stakeholders for a ribbon cutting ceremony at the facility on June 7.

Positioned just 35 miles from Philadelphia, 65 miles from Manhattan and in close proximity to the area’s significant seaport and airport infrastructure, nearly 40 percent of the US population can be reached within a single day’s drive from HRP Mercer. Access to 2.48 million workers, including more than 112,300 transportation and warehouse workers, enhances the site’s value as an ideal location for both regional distribution and last mile logistics.

“We are thrilled to have DMI begin its operations at HRP Mercer,” said HRP Chief Investment Officer Andrew Chused. “DMI has been a fixture in the Hamilton Township community for a decade now, and we believe their track record as an industry leader makes them an ideal user for this state-of-the-art facility. We are also grateful to Mayor Martin and our partners in Hamilton Township for their ongoing support for our work to transform this former industrial site and create sustainable jobs and economic growth.”

Currently serving over 80 members with more than 90 showrooms across the Northeast, DMI enables independent dealers to remain competitive in major markets. DMI is strategically positioned to foster continued growth in the appliance industry by enhancing its range of services and operational efficiency. With a solid commitment to innovation and member success, DMI is dedicated to empowering its members to thrive and grow.

“DMI is dedicated to optimizing operations and boosting efficiencies to elevate our organization for our members. Moving to a new state-of-the-art warehouse with cross-docking and room to grow is a significant step towards our continued growth,” said DMI Executive Director, Alan Joskowicz.

DMI’s occupancy of the building will result in 81 jobs remaining in Hamilton Township, with the potential to add hundreds of additional jobs in the future.

“We are thrilled DMI chose to stay in Hamilton and expand their operations here,” said Mayor Jeff Martin. “I also want to thank HRP for seeing a diamond in the rough by repurposing a decommissioned coal plant, cleaning it up, and turning it into something clean and useful. A special thanks to HRP for doing all the work with all skilled union and local workers.”

At the event, DMI recognized their business partners, including those who supported the grand opening: Whirlpool, GE Appliances, Nationwide Marketing Group (NMG), Samsung, Middleby Residential, BSH Home Appliance, Summit Appliance, Milestone Distributors, LG Electronics, Element Electronics, Friedrich Air Conditioning, AM Home Delivery, Fisher & Paykel, and HRP.

Published

2 hours ago

May 3, 2026

SYDNEY, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today Booking.com released its 11th annual research report into consumer attitudes and understanding of the social and environmental impact of travel. With insights from 32,500 travellers across 35 markets globally, including 1,000 from Australia, this year’s research highlights a generational paradox.

While 83% of Australian travellers say that more sustainable travel is important to them, older generations demonstrate greater commitment through concrete actions, despite younger generations often expressing stronger sustainability intentions.

Older generations demonstrate greater commitment through concrete sustainable actions, with almost two–thirds of Boomers across Asia Pacific (63%) saying they will shop more at local, independent stores on their trips, three–quarters (75%) planning to reduce general waste, and 63% intending to reduce energy consumption, higher than Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z.However, younger travellers are leading in cultural and conservation management; more than a quarter of Gen Z (27%) and Millennials (26%) participated in a tour or activity that contributed to the health or conservation of the local ecosystem or wildlife.Extreme weather is actively reshaping travel choices. Nearly three-quarters of Australian travellers said they consider extreme weather risk when choosing both destination (72%), and timing (75%), and 27% reported having cancelled or changed trip plans in the past twelve months due to extreme weather or natural disaster.Australian travellers are shifting when and where they travel, seeking reliable climates and comfort. 43% say they plan to avoid overcrowded tourist destinations, 42% plan to travel outside of peak season, and 26% will seek out destinations with cooler temperatures.In 2025, travellers booked more than 100 million room nights on Booking.com at accommodation partners with a third-party sustainability certification, including at 363 third-party certified Australian properties.
