Kuehne+Nagel expands spare parts logistics for the automotive industry
BREMEN : As one of the leading logistics providers for the automotive industry, Kuehne+Nagel now manages a 170,000m² spare parts fulfilment and delivery centre in Wallersdorf, Germany.
From this location, spare parts are supplied to BMW markets worldwide. Here, Kuehne+Nagel is responsible for the physical receipt of goods, pre-packaging, the management of packaging material and empties as well as the loading of goods onto shuttles for dispatch to all BMW parts distribution locations.
At the Dingolfing and Bruckberg sites, Kuehne+Nagel now also ensures the logistical handling of BMW spare parts for worldwide dispatch: regional distribution centres around the world are supplied with parts from here, which in turn ensure delivery to the local BMW dealerships in the individual countries.
Kuehne+Nagel thus supports the BMW Group in spare parts logistics with around 1,700 employees at various locations worldwide.
“We are pleased to take over the extended tasks in spare parts logistics for the BMW Group,” says Tobias Jerschke, National Manager Kuehne+Nagel Germany. “We support our customer in being more efficient in the supply of spare parts and being able to react more flexibly. The decisive factor here is not only our expertise in this area but also the growing trust between the two teams.”
