Written by Mark O'Bornick
Saturday, 24 February 2007
This week's Logistics Bulletin takes global expansion as its theme. In the last week, Schneider National has received the go-ahead for operations in China, Thiel Logistik is expanding its presence in South America, DPWN has announced multi million dollar investments in the Middle East and major logistics hubs are to be established in Russia. Elsewhere, computer manufacturer Dell has established a new Global operations organisation, whilst retailer Decathlon is expanding its logistics footprint in China and Audi and Volkswagen have opened a parts centre in the Middle East. In Europe, DHL is investing in Hungary, Kuehne + Nagel is leasing warehouse space in Romania and Beiersdorf is to sell its logistics centre in Germany. Among contract wins (and losses) reported this week are a number of developments at Unipart Logistics (Boots, Apple and Vodafone), TNT, Allied Foods and Norbert Dentressangle. Urban Transport Policy in Europe: Meeting City Demands for Green Logistics </br></br> New Research from Analytiqa </br></br> Urban Transport Policy in Europe: Meeting City Demands for Green Logistics takes an in-depth look at the current initiatives and legislation currently being planned and implemented across twenty cities in twelve European countries across both West and Eastern Europe. </br></br> The issues addressed are those that will have the greatest impact on providers working within the express, logistics or supply chain arena. It is critical that hauliers, courier and express, logistics and distribution companies across all sectors understand and account for changes in their operational environment. </br></br> This report will assist decision makers within these organisations to ensure correct future investment into vehicles, resources, strategies and services that are not only compliant with future environmental legislation (Euro 4, Euro IV, Euro 5, Euro V, etc) and developments, but more importantly, are considered and hence able to take full advantage of some of the opportunities the future, 'greener', market will provide. </br></br> Click http://www.analytiqa.com/reports.aspx?ReportId=252 for more information. </br></br> Unipart Logistics win four new contracts </br></br> 14 February 2007 - Unipart has won four multi-million pound long-term contracts including substantial new business with Apple and Vodafone UK. </br></br> The contracts total more than £230.0 million in revenue and will create hundreds of new jobs in Unipart’s logistics centres in the Midlands. They establish Unipart as a leader in the rapidly growing and highly demanding field of technology logistics. </br></br> The Company’s 27,870 m2 logistics centre in Nuneaton (an integrated logistics and handset repair centre that Unipart runs with Vodafone UK) is growing rapidly and is expected to employ nearly a thousand people making it Britain’s biggest mobile ‘phone repair and refurbishment centre. </br></br> 950 Unipart staff not only oversee the supply direct from the manufacturers of the mobile handsets themselves but bundle them across a variety of service offerings ensuring the right hardware and software goes to the customer. </br></br> The centre also deals with what is known as reverse logistics or customer returns of damaged, unwanted or faulty phones. </br></br> Unipart’s proficiency in reverse logistics has also led to major contracts with large internet retailers such as ASOS.com. And from February 2007, it will handle returns of the Apple iPod. </br></br> Elsewhere this week: </br></br> DPWN increases 2006 revenues and earnings as expected http://www.analytiqa.com/newsitem.aspx?articleid=2284 </br></br> Toll ready for more acquisitions http://www.analytiqa.com/newsitem.aspx?articleid=2281 </br></br> UK hauliers lose market share http://www.analytiqa.com/newsitem.aspx?articleid=2292 </br></br> Boots end contract with Unipart Logistics http://www.analytiqa.com/newsitem.aspx?articleid=2271 </br></br> TNT Express wins Mitsubishi Motors contract http://www.analytiqa.com/newsitem.aspx?articleid=2276 </br></br> Allied Foods and Sam Dennigan win distribution contracts in Ireland http://www.analytiqa.com/newsitem.aspx?articleid=2278 </br></br> Norbert Dentressangle renews contract with CHEP http://www.analytiqa.com/newsitem.aspx?articleid=2280 </br></br> DSC Logistics awarded warehouse contracts by Culligan http://www.analytiqa.com/newsitem.aspx?articleid=2290 </br></br> Schneider National gets go-ahead in China http://www.analytiqa.com/newsitem.aspx?articleid=2272 </br></br> Thiel Logistik expands presence in South America http://www.analytiqa.com/newsitem.aspx?articleid=2273 </br></br> Dell establishes new Global operations organisation http://www.analytiqa.com/newsitem.aspx?articleid=2274 </br></br> Kraton announces opening of new Asia Pacific distribution centre http://www.analytiqa.com/newsitem.aspx?articleid=2275 </br></br> DPWN announces multi million US dollar investment in Dubai World Central http://www.analytiqa.com/newsitem.aspx?articleid=2277 </br></br> Kuehne + Nagel leases warehouse space in Romania http://www.analytiqa.com/newsitem.aspx?articleid=2279 </br></br> Beiersdorf to sell logistics centre in Hamburg http://www.analytiqa.com/newsitem.aspx?articleid=2283 </br></br> New logistics centres for Russia's major transport hubs http://www.analytiqa.com/newsitem.aspx?articleid=2282 </br></br> Decathlon expands logistics space in China http://www.analytiqa.com/newsitem.aspx?articleid=2288 </br></br> Audi and Volkswagen open parts centre in Middle East http://www.analytiqa.com/newsitem.aspx?articleid=2289 </br></br> DHL invests in Hungary http://www.analytiqa.com/newsitem.aspx?articleid=2291 </br></br> Volvo makes bid for Nissan Diesel http://www.analytiqa.com/newsitem.aspx?articleid=2285 </br></br> Foster's Group Extends RedPrairie supply chain rollout http://www.analytiqa.com/newsitem.aspx?articleid=2286 </br></br> Universal Power Group selects RedPrairie http://www.analytiqa.com/newsitem.aspx?articleid=2287 </br></br> Receive Analytiqa's daily logistics news by RSS.
