Leading European supply chain solutions provider, Wincanton, has acquired a major new customer, the well-known tyre manufacturer Goodyear Dunlop Tyres. Wincanton is set to operate a newly-built central warehouse for the company in the Slovak town of Senec and manage the distribution of tyres from this warehouse throughout Slovakia, to the Czech Republic and to Hungary.
“This project is something more than the standard provision of logistics services. It involves the reorganisation and consolidation of our activities in Slovakia and the transfer of our centre from Bratislava to Senec,” says Lukáš Rek, managing director of Wincanton in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The project is already underway and is a five year contract between Wincanton, Goodyear Dunlop Tyres Czech, Goodyear Dunlop Tyres Slovakia, and Goodyear Dunlop Tyres Hungary. “This project builds on the successful cooperation in Poland, where Wincanton is responsible for operating the Goodyear warehouse in Tarnow,” adds Lukáš Rek. The central warehouse in Senec has storage space of 6000 m2 and is equipped with the latest information and communication technology. This, the most modern logistics centre in Slovakia, will provide new job opportunities for a significant number of people from the surrounding areas. Source: Press release
