Kuehne + Nagel secures another REHAU contract
REHAU has awarded Kuehne + Nagel a comprehensive production logistics project that encompasses the fabrication of up to 39 different variants of vehicle bumpers via gradual assembly. In addition to assembly, Kuehne + Nagel provides logistics services such as warehousing and individual packaging of spare parts. To implement the project Kuehne + Nagel first needed to transport more than twenty production machines into its facility in Straubing, Germany. After assembly the spare parts are stored in the warehouse, to be available on demand for the car manufacturers. Last year, Kuehne + Nagel was appointed to provide road logistics services for all PVC products from REHAU’s plants in Poland, France, Germany and Austria to its warehouse in Zagreb, Croatia. REHAU is also extending its collaboration with Kuehne + Nagel in other countries. Since December, Kuehne + Nagel has been responsible for a logistics project concerning raw materials for REHAU’s bumper production in the South African city of Uitenhage near Port Elizabeth. Materials will be warehoused and delivered for just-in-time-production. The project lays the foundation for the development of an "Automotive Supplier Centre" in which Kuehne + Nagel will offer standardised logistics services for first and second-tier automotive suppliers.
