CEVA Logistics has further cemented its role in the Southeast Asia wine and spirits sector after winning a three-year contract with Diageo, one of the world’s largest alcoholic beverage producers, to handle warehousing and value-added services in the Philippines.
Under the terms of the contract, Diageo will become one of the first clients at the soon-to-be completed CEVA Logistics Ruhale Taguig warehouse in southeast Manila. CEVA will manage full distribution centre operations for Diageo’s range of products, including a temperature-controlled section for domestic distribution throughout the Philippines. CEVA will also provide tax stamping and labelling of more than four million bottles each year. The 3PL’s warehouse management software will be integrated with Diageo’s enterprise resource planning platform to facilitate data sharing.
The deal builds on an existing relationship between the companies; over the last two years, CEVA has been responsible for handling Diageo’s air and ocean import brokerage requirements.
Elaine Low, managing director for Southeast Asia and Pacific, CEVA Logistics, commented: “We are delighted to have Diageo in the Ruhale facility where we can add value to their supply chain by managing their full distribution centre operations.”
