Logwin to manage logistics for Ernsting’s family in Austria

Supply of 37 Austrian stores of the textile trade chain Ernsting’s family ex Coswig near Berlin lies now in the hands of Logwin
 
The global logistics service provider Logwin has acquired a new customer from the textile industry in Austria: the logistician will supply all 37 stores of Ernsting’s family with products for the entire family, from toys through to decorative articles.
 
The initial point of the cooperation is the logistics facility of Ernsting’s family in Coswig, around 100 kilometres south-east of Berlin. This is where Logwin takes delivery of the pre-picked goods and transports them to its locations in Vienna and Bergheim near Salzburg. Stores in the west of Austria are supplied from Bergheim, while shops in the east of the country receive goods via Vienna.
 
Currently Logwin transports around 25,000 boxes for Ernsting’s family from Coswig to Austria each year. This volume is expected to increase further. The service package also includes shop-to-shop deliveries, and returns handling. “For us it is important that store deliveries are made punctually, reliably and accurately,” explains Holger Henning, Manager Distribution Centre at Ernsting’s family. “This is particularly true for our promotional and catalogue goods, which must be available at all times”, he adds.
 
Ernsting’s family GmbH & Co. KG, with its headquarters in Coesfeld-Lette, is one of Germany’s leading textile chains. The company employs around 10,000 staff and operates some1,600 stores in Germany and Austria. Ernstings’s family sells clothes for the whole family with a focus on women’s and children’s wear. The enterprise generated sales of EUR 737 million in the 2010/2011 business year. The company opened its first 37 shops in Austria over the last 18 months. 23 additional stores are planned to follow by the end of 2012.
