DHL opens distribution centre for Epson in Tilburg

Posted by | Oct 18, 2007 | |

DHL announced that Epson Europe, DHL Exel Supply Chain and ProLogis celebrate the opening of the new central distribution centre for Epson Europe. From this centre around tens of thousands of printers, video projectors and cash register systems are shipped to customers in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Russia on a daily basis. DHL is responsible for the logistics from the centre employing up to 400 people. The new warehouse, with 60 loading docks and a surface area of 60,000m2, is the property of ProLogis and was voted the “best looking” distribution center in the Netherlands by the Dutch publication, Nieuwsblad Transport.

“The warehousing activities of Epson Europe were performed at a number of different locations until recently,” says Denis Doyle, Operations Director for Epson Europe. “Two of these, the Maasvlakte and Hoofddorp, were managed by DHL. The centralization of our logistics warehouses will be beneficial for customers in the area of consolidated invoicing, direct shipment and reducing administration time. By consolidating our logistics we expect to achieve substantial savings, not only in terms of cost but also for the environment, which is an important step for Epson. We are much better able to utilize our transport capacity, contributing to a reduction in CO 2 emissions. We have always had an excellent working relationship with DHL, so we have plenty of confidence in our continued future together.”

“The Netherlands, and in particular Tilburg, is an ideal logistics location for European supply chains and we are delighted to be opening this new distribution center, the 32 rd in the Netherlands, in partnership with our valued customer, Epson,” says John Allan , CEO DHL Logistics Division.

Brand manufacturers rely on DHL's logistics concept

Posted by | Oct 10, 2007 | |

This campus is designed for brand manufacturers of cosmetics and cleaning agents and will initially cover a space of 60,000 sqm.
Colgate-Palmolive, Johnson & Johnson and Reckitt Benckiser are placing their trust in the new logistics concept of DHL Exel Supply Chain. This autumn, Deutsche Post World Net’s contract logistics will open a so-called Logistics Campus in Unna in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia that is designed especially for brand manufacturers of cosmetics and cleaning agents, and will initially cover a space of 60,000 sqm. The first customers to tap the quality and flexibility benefits available in Unna will be Colgate-Palmolive and Johnson & Johnson. Reckitt Benckiser will move in the mid of 2008 when 20,000 sqm have been added to the campus.
DHL has designed the center in Unna to meet the requirements of manufacturers of cosmetic products and cleaning agents. Frequently changing assortments and seasonal capacity logjams are key features of this sector. Manufacturers need sufficient leeway to respond to these challenges and realize synergies – the only way to ensure a high service level in the market. The campus concept guarantees uniform standards in warehousing and transport processes as well as in the area of IT systems. In addition, identical hall designs ensure that all DHL services can be flexibly adapted to the customer’s warehouse capacity requirements at any time.
Aside from comprehensive warehousing services and value-added assistance such as display construction and RFIT integration, DHL also handles the processing of national and European shipments. An SAP platform developed specifically for the consumer goods industry ensures that all partners can use a common information interface.
All logistics services offered in Dortmund will be relocated to Unna by the end of the year. All employees will receive jobs at the new location.

DHL opens new logistics campus in Ludwigsau (Germany)

Posted by | Oct 8, 2007 | |

DHL Exel Supply Chain officially launched operations at its new logistics campus for the mail order sector in Ludwigsau built at a cost of around EUR 22 million. The new distribution center near Bad Hersfeld covers an area of 35,000 square meters to store and distribute goods delivered to the final customer in a so-called “two-man handling” service and employing some 70 staff members. The new facility is exclusively targeted at logistics processes for the long-distance retail sector.

Stefan Kurrle, CEO of DHL Exel Supply Chain in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland described the new project as a trend setter: “Mail order is strongly recovering. Especially e-commerce is a fast growing market in Germany and neighboring European countries. In establishing a logistics campus for the home delivery sector we can offer long distance retail traders tailored processes for managing their goods and delivering their products anywhere in Europe. Ludwigsau helps to bring Europe closer together.”

This building allows goods to be moved efficiently from the warehouse to the loading area.

The campus concept developed by DHL Exel Supply Chain bears a typical feature; the logistics location focuses on the needs of one particular sector of industry. This enables several customers operating in the sector to use the same local logistics services including warehousing, transport, and added value services. Streamlining logistics structures increases flexibility, creates synergies for customers and service operators, and helps to organize logistics processes on a more cost-effective basis. Customers also benefit from the innovative way in which buildings have been arranged at Ludwigsau; it allows goods to be moved efficiently from the warehouse to the loading area, whereas both internal and external space can be used with greatest possible operational efficiency.
