arvato wins £10m national supply chain deal from Bosch UK
arvato is set to expand its UK supply chain business following a multimillion pound contract with the UK regional organisation of the Bosch Group, a leading global supplier of technology and services.
The five year agreement, worth in excess of £10m, will see the business process outsourcing partner take over the warehousing and distribution of the lawn and garden product division of Bosch Power Tools in the UK, with the transition starting October 1, 2011.
arvato will supply more than 15 national retail customers with over a million units across a range of more than 170 different products. Bosch’s innovative products, including lawnmowers, shredders and other garden tools, will be stored and distributed from arvato’s distribution hub at Hams Hall, Birmingham including an additional 90,000 sq ft of new warehousing.
"There is a positive cultural fit between arvato and Bosch. Both companies have a customer-oriented business philosophy, an ownership structure that enables long-term, sustainable planning and an entrepreneurial spirit that drives innovation and improvement," said Nick Wilson, Logistics Director for Bosch in the UK. "arvato’s approach has been collaborative and professional since we started discussions and we are looking forward to creating a long-term and successful partnership together."
