CEVA renews its partnership with Continental Italy for further three years
CEVA Logistics has renewed its partnership with Continental Italy, a leading global supplier to the automotive sector, for a further three years.
CEVA will take charge of the logistics activities for Continental Italy’s tyres, managing the loading and unloading of bulk products from vehicles, the handling and storage in specialist metal cages provided by the customer, as well as the picking, shipment and distribution of the items through CEVA’s network nationwide. CEVA will dedicate 24,000 sq m to the customer within its warehouse at Somaglia, near Lodi, handling approximately 2m outgoing pieces per year, the equivalent of 20,000 tons, through the use of ten inbound and 25 outbound vehicles every day.
CEVA will provide two special services, ‚Same Day‘, a solution which guarantees distribution across the province of Milan within 24 hours, and ‚Pit Stop‘, an express delivery service which serves the national territory ensuring distribution within 24 hours to all Italian regions with exception of Calabria, Sicily and Sardinia, where deliveries are guaranteed within 48 hours. CEVA will also install a visual management system in Continental Italy’s headquarters in Milan; a database which gives information about the status of all the inbound processes, and provides all data in real time to guarantee the customer constant visibility of its goods.
Alberto Scagnetti, Divisional Director Automotive and Industrial for CEVA in Italy, said: "We are proud to have renewed our collaboration with Continental Italy which is due to our focus on Operations Excellence and continuous improvement – elements that underpin our organisational culture. We have been able to use our expertise in the tyre sector to Continental Italy’s advantage in a market segment which is characterised by short delivery cycles and a range of products with very different sizes and weights. One of CEVA’s strengths lies in not only providing traditional services, but also value added solutions, such as ‚Same Day‘ and ‚Pit Stop, which provide fast and punctual deliveries across the country by leveraging our extensive warehouse and transport network."
