Goodyear Dunlop & TNT Logistics renew contract in Spain

TNT Logistics has renewed its logistics contract with international tyres
manufacturer Goodyear Dunlop in Spain, to provide warehousing, handling as
well as to manage its national tyre distribution.

For the new contract term TNT Logistics has invested about 3 million Euro in
radiofrequency equipment, security systems, and the new warehouse
management system and has implemented a dedicated network in Spain. By
providing visibility throughout the entire supply chain by using COAT, a
Transport Management System designed by TNT Logistics, distribution lead
times will be reduced as a result of which Goodyear Dunlop will be able to
further improve service levels to its customers in Spain.

TNT Logistics Spain has opened a 24.000 square meters warehouse in
Madrid, the Goodyear Dunlop Central warehouse where all stock is stored,
and from which all distribution throughout Spain will be handled. The
warehouse has been equipped with the latest technology and modern
installations including sprinklers, centrally controlled fire prevention, smoke
and volumetric detection and radiofrequency used for carrying out the
paperless picking activities and order despatching.

TNT Logistics Spain has developed a dedicated network for tyres, composed
by 17 regional transit points, fully integrated with TNT Logistics’ IT system
COAT. This system allows the control of all outbound flows providing online
information about deliveries. The system can be consulted by the Goodyear
Dunlop sales network, providing total transparency of the supply chain.

Frank Schnitker, Supply Chain Director of Goodyear Dunlop comments: “TNT
Logistics Spain significantly improves our tyre distribution system, which has
resulted in the optimisation of our stock levels and the minimisation of supply
chain costs, which allows us to offer a higher quality service to our customers.“
