STILL Austria uses overnight service of Logwin
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.
