- Warehouses in Germany consolidated
- First centralized warehouse in the USA
- Fast single-source delivery for customers
Luxembourg, June 22, 2011 - SAF-HOLLAND, a leading supplier for the global
truck and trailer industry, is strengthening its aftermarket business
through restructuring of its spare parts warehouses. This will considerably
simplify the ordering and delivery process for customers.
From July 1, 2011, the previous two spare parts warehouses in Singen and
Aschaffenburg will be consolidated at the Aschaffenburg location. From now
on, customers will be able to order spare parts from the entire
product range of SAF-HOLLAND and SAF-HOLLAND Verkehrstechnik GmbH from one
spare parts warehouse location. The parts will be delivered together in one
delivery and will no longer be transported from different production
locations as was previously the case. 'This will considerably improve the
service for trucking companies and fleet operators', said Alexander Geis,
Head of the Aftermarket Business Unit. 'In addition, existing capacities
will be better utilized as no additional investments will be required for
the spare parts warehouse in Aschaffenburg', continued Geis.
Staff reductions are not planned: 'Thanks to the good order situation, we
are able to offer new positions to all employees from the Singen spare
parts warehouse', said Svend Koch, Managing Director of SAF-HOLLAND
Verkehrstechnik in Singen.
In May, SAF-HOLLAND already opened the centralized spare parts
warehouse for America. It is located in Cincinnatti, Ohio (USA) and covers
an area of around 8,000 square meters. 'We are replacing numerous
decentralized warehouses and substantially reducing delivery times to
customers. We are also improving our internal and external logistics
processes', said Alexander Geis.
Both warehouses are conveniently located near highways and airports
guaranteeing fast and reliable delivery of spare parts to customers.
With this measure, SAF-HOLLAND will exploit further synergies across
locations and use existing resources to increase its service and delivery
availability with respect to customers.
The Aftermarket Business Unit, which, with a close-meshed global service
network, ensures prompt and reliable replacement part delivery for fleet
operators and trucking companies, generated around 30% of SAF-HOLLAND's
total sales in financial year 2010.
