Kuehne + Nagel Group: Bosch Group and Kuehne + Nagel Poland further extend their partnership Mittwoch, 05. April 2017 - 19:16
Poznan / PL, April 05, 2017 - Kuehne + Nagel Poland signed a new agreement for contract logistics management with Bosch Thermotechnology.
Bosch Thermotechnology is a leading international
manufacturer of heating products and water heaters sold under the brand
names Junkers, Bosch and Buderus. Kuehne + Nagel will be responsible for
consolidating three existing warehouses in Poland and stock in Germany
into one site which will be located in Piotrków Trybunalski (Central
Poland). The location acts as Poland Distribution Center for finished
goods and spare parts. To ensure optimum supply chain performance Kuehne
+ Nagel provides warehouse space tailored to the special storage needs
of heating and hot water products. Synergies within the existing Kuehne +
Nagel logistics campus in Piotrków will allow to better manage the high
volatility of activities in the warehouse due to the seasonality of
product demands of Bosch Thermotechnology. In the scope of the contract,
services include picking & packing, quality inspections, management
of inbound flows from suppliers, order preparation, planning,
visibility and measurement tools.
Kuehne + Nagel has been
supporting Bosch in Poland since 1992. The logistics provider operates
Bosch’s distribution center for power tools and automotive aftermarket
in Wrocław and for marketing materials in Warsaw.
“We are very
pleased to add a new chapter to our long-time cooperation with Bosch.
The new contract we signed with Bosch Thermotechnology reinforces the
partnership that we have on a global basis and especially in Poland,
where we already operate several facilities. It underlines our customer
focus and confirms our strategy to offer industry-specific solutions
tailored to their requirements”, said Ingo Goldhammer, Managing Director
of Kuehne + Nagel in Poland.
“Kuehne + Nagel is a valued and
trusted partner for Bosch, offering high standard of modern warehouse
services. I am pleased that our cooperation has been extended to cover
Bosch Thermotechnology division. It allows us to optimise distribution
as well as modernise the storage process”, Krysztof Ciemięga, General
Manager of Bosch Termotechnology in Poland stated.
