Emak outsources its Italian distribution centre to Kuehne + Nagel
Emak, a member of the industrial Yama Group, a leading European farm and garden machinery manufacturer, has selected Kuehne + Nagel to manage its distribution centre in Italy. Adjacent to its existing 64,000 sqm logistics facility in Santa Cristina e Bissone, south of Milan, Kuehne + Nagel has opened a newly built 10,500 sqm warehouse specifically designed to host operations on behalf of Emak. Under the three-year agreement Kuehne + Nagel will handle a range of over 850 different Emak items, such as chain saws, brush cutters, lawn mowers, pumps, hedge trimmers as well as related accessories and spare parts. Approximately 1,200,000 cases, mostly machines, will be received annually from Emak’s production facilities in Italy and the Far East and then stored, picked and loaded. Warehouse operations are supported by a radio frequency system with portable handhelds, thereby ensuring highest levels of picking accuracy and productivity. Quelle: Kuehne + Nagel South West Europe |
