Imperial has been appointed to handle outbound logistics for thyssenkrupp Schulte at its new site in Rotenburg (Wümme), located between Hamburg and Bremen, Germany.
thyssenkrupp Schulte is a producer-independent materials distributor and service provider specialising in steel, stainless steel and nonferrous metals. It runs over 40 locations serving more than 70,000 customers in the industrial, engineering and construction sectors.
The new Rotenburg logistics centre, which is currently under construction, is key for serving its sales region in Northern Germany. Imperial will manage all aspects of the company’s transport operations including yard management, loading vehicles and distribution to thyssenkrupp Schulte’ customers throughout the surrounding region. Initial volumes will involve over 700 deliveries per day, rising steadily.
The contract assignment follows the successful implementation of a smaller contract covering the company’s Rheine location, which began in late 2019. The experience gained in this operation has enabled Imperial to better understand thyssenkrupp Schulte’ requirements for its new Rotenburg operation. Tendering for the new contract involved the close collaboration of Imperial’s Industrial Industry Vertical and Road division.
The new contract aligns with Imperial’s business development strategy, which will see it further strengthen its logistics presence in key verticals including industrial, automotive, consumer, healthcare and chemicals.
