Openfield appoints DHL as logistics partner (UK)

Posted by | Sep 17, 2008 | |

DHL Exel Supply Chain has been appointed supply chain partner to Openfield, the planned new merged business of Grainfarmers and Centaur Grain.

In a five year contract worth around GBP 125 million (154 million euro), DHL will be using its logistics expertise to work with existing grain carriers to establish a more efficient supply chain.

This appointment comes after three years of collaboration between the companies, looking into ways that the existing supply chain could be streamlined to counter increasing operating costs and growing food costs.

The new contract involves DHL taking over the existing Grainfarmers fleet which makes around 15 pct of the deliveries in any one year. Primarily, DHL will be managing and coordinating deliveries to ensure that the supply chain is working to its maximum potential, with waiting times and empty running reduced, both of which are extremely wasteful in terms of time and the environment.
