Rhenus wins another top customer Ukraine
Rhenus Revival takes over warehouse logistics for Sony Consumer Electronics in Ukraine:
The specialist for transport and logistics services in the countries of the former Soviet Union, operating under the brand name Rhenus Revival, announces a new major customer. Sony Ukraine LLC Sony Ukraine LLC has handed over the warehousing operations for its electronics products to the company of the Rhenus Group.
Rhenus Revival has been providing storage capacities to the new “key account” at its warehouse in Kiev since the beginning of September 2011. The enterprise has been operating a multi-user warehouse measuring 10,000 m² in Stoyanka and handles products, which include items from the FMCG sector. Sony’s high-value goods are now kept in a separate area, which is monitored by video round the clock. The warehouse, which is equipped with a high-security personnel access system, meets the highest security standards.
“We’re proud to be able to extend our services for Sony e.g. by importing goods from Europe to Russia – to the warehouse logistics operations in Ukraine,” says Uwe Oemmelen, Member of the Rhenus Management Board. By including the warehouse space in Kiev, it has been possible to optimize logistics processes. “With our expertise, we are ensuring that the goods reach their destination even more efficiently,” Oemmelen adds.
Sony Consumer Electronics also benefits from Rhenus Revival’s many years of experience as a customs broker specialist. After customs duty has been paid, the consignments are handed over to domestic distribution corporations. In an ideal case, Ukrainian wholesalers receive orders on the very same day. In addition to customs clearance, the logistics service provider also makes available value added services like labelling and kitting at its Kiev business location.
The takeover of warehousing operations for Sony reflects the growth course being pursued by Rhenus Revival in Ukraine. The Rhenus subsidiary currently operates approx. 46,700 m² of warehousing space and is therefore one of the leading logistics partners in the country.
