07 September 2006 - 11:45 CET
TNT Logistics Central & Eastern Europe is the new partner for the European warehousing and distribution logistics of WashTec Cleaning Group, the world's leading provider of carwash solutions. The 3-year contract was signed in early August.The pan-European spare parts logistics operation of WashTec will be based on three regional spare parts warehouses in Norway, Great Britain and France in addition to its current European spare parts distribution centre in Germany. Starting as early as this coming autumn, TNT Logistics will be stockpiling 10,000 articles in more than 18,000 sqm multi-user warehouse in Eppertshausen near Frankfurt am Main, and will be distributing more than 67,000 shipments annually to locations all across Europe. The transportation services will also include overnight deliveries for rush orders as well as deadline orders for general overhaul.
Implementation of the pan-European spare parts logistics project with TNT Logistics should allow WashTec to reduce its working capital and overheads while improving its capacity for immediate response to delivery requests, says Thorsten Krüger, spokesman for the Washtec AG board of management.
"WashTec, our new customer, will be yet another excellent reference for TNT Logistics in the area of spare parts logistics, and for medium-sized companies in particular. Under the central management and responsibility of TNT Logistics Central & Eastern Europe, we will achieve an integral pan-European solution of the highest quality level," explains Bernd Müßig, General Manager Business Development.
