50 percent more contract volume
Hellmann extends contract with Siemens AG
Hellmann Worldwide Logistics and Siemens AG are further expanding their cooperation in contract logistics, which began in 2013: From November, Hellmann will manage around 26,000 active items for the Electrical Products division at Siemens Smart Infrastructure in Bor, Czech Republic - from warehouse management, picking and packing to worldwide shipping. This corresponds to an increase in contract volume of around 50 percent. Siemens is thus transferring another part of its own warehousing to Hellmann's expertise.
In order to accommodate the additional volume, the Hellmann site in the ctPark Bor industrial park will be expanded by 6,000 m² by renting additional warehouse space. At the same time, the existing 20,000 m² warehouse will be optimized through structural measures so that parts of the new business can also be handled here. In order to optimize the flow of goods and supply chain management, Hellmann is establishing a digital warehouse management system for its long-standing customer in Bor: the introduction of digital warehouse optimization software, which is integrated into the existing warehouse management system, will enable material flows to be managed even more efficiently using artificial intelligence.
"For seven years, Hellmann has been a very reliable partner for us, who knows how to fulfill the complex requirements of our contract logistics smoothly and professionally. This was also decisive for the current extension of our cooperation until 2025, and we are currently considering further joint projects," says Andrea Mandler, Head Supply Chain Logistics, Siemens Smart Infrastructure, Electrical Products .
"We are delighted that Siemens AG has not only extended our long-standing cooperation in the Czech Republic ahead of schedule, but also significantly expanded it. This makes it clear that our customized contract logistics solutions are convincing in the long term and that we are looking to the future together," says Volker Sauerborn, COO Contract Logistics Hellmann Worldwide Logistics.
