Stannah Stairlifts signs two year contract with DB Schenker Logistics

Schenker Limited, the UK arm of the global logistics services provider DB Schenker, has been awarded a two year contract to handle Stannah Stairlifts European Roadfreight requirements from the UK and the Czech Republic into Germany, Belgium, Holland, France and Poland.

Daily movements from the world leader in stairlift design and manufacturing’s Andover headquarters will see DB Schenker operating direct trucks into Germany, France, Belgium and The Netherlands while control of the account will be maintained locally through DB Schenker’s Bournemouth branch.  DB Schenker also controls all freight out of Stannah’s Brno factory in the Czech Republic.
"We have really taken time to get to know this customer and understand his precise requirements. This combined with our ability to offer innovative solutions such as our new e-booking tool meant Stannah could have total confidence in our all round capabilities.  Additionally we have shown them how changing certain distribution routings can save them almost a day in transit to a number of European locations," says Schenker Limited’s Commercial Director, David Harrison.
Adds Chris Ward, Stannah Stairlifts‘ Distribution Manager: "DB Schenker is providing us with an excellent service and we look forward to working with them on future projects".
