GM’s Holden renews and expands partnership with TPG in Australia
TPG N.V., through its division TNT Logistics, has signed an agreement for the renewal and expansion of its contract for logistics services with Holden, the General Motors automotive manufacturer in Australia.
TNT Logistics Australia will continue, for another three years, as the Lead Logistics Provider for General Motor’s aftermarket service parts division, Holden Service Parts Operation (HSPO). The activities include inbound transport from 500 domestic suppliers, national outbound transport of stock and emergency orders to over 350 dealers. Besides services already provided through the contract, TNT Logistics will now handle packaging as an additional service. The operations will be conducted in a purpose built logistics warehouse.
Other services TNT Logistics Australia perform for the Holden business include the recently renewed warehouse contract, reverse logistics credit assessment service, international materials management of imported and exported product and finished vehicle distribution for the premium Holden Special Vehicle brand of cars to dealers nationally across Australia.
This contract win coincides with TNT Logistics Australia and HSPO winning the Doug Beattie Trophy for Supply Chain Management, a prestigious Australian award which was presented on November the 18th at the National Logistics Supply Chain Awards event. The award was for the joint submission of the significant achievement in managing the integration of supply chains.
To support its successful market share of national and global car sales HSPO strengthened its partnership with TNT Logistics, with the aim of enhancing the added value of its own logistics services for its Australian and international customers. TNT Logistics Australia and Holden started working together in 1996.
