STILL Austria uses overnight service of Logwin

Logwin performs since recently overnight transportation for STILL Gesellschaft m.b.H. Österreich, manufacturer of industrial trucks:

The Logwin group has gained a new customer. STILL Gesellschaft m.b.H. in Austria has been using the overnight service of the global logistics service provider since March 2011. The logistics specialist transports spare parts for the repair and maintenance of industrial trucks from STILL’s German headquarters in Hamburg to Wiener Neudorf near Vienna. From there the drivers distribute parts direct to field engineers throughout Austria overnight.

STILL has previously worked with several different partners for the supply of its field engineers. “By cooperating with a single, experienced logistics service provider we can exploit synergies and achieve not just savings but also benefit from even better service,” says Helmuth Viertl, Managing Director of STILL Austria.

A Logwin truck leaves Hamburg every day to transport individual parts – from the smallest screw to complete replacement engines – to the warehouse in Wiener Neudorf, where STILL employees assign the parts to over 50 field engineers or consignment stock depots, combine them with parts from the warehouse in Austria and pack them into Logwin’s returnable boxes.

Logwin vans collect the picked goods from 4 p.m. onwards. “Delivery of the shipments to the required destinations is effected by 7 a.m. the next day. The parts are delivered either direct to the field engineers’ vehicles or to lockable containers,” explains Alexander Kratky, Manager Sales and Key Account Management at Logwin’s business segment Solutions. Logwin also performs returns management on behalf of STILL in the same operation as delivery.

STILL GmbH, with headquarters in Hamburg, is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of electric, diesel and LP gas forklift trucks with over 90 years of experience. Besides production sites in Hamburg, Reutlingen, Montataire (France) and Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), the company has 199 locations all over the world and employs more than 6,000 people.
