XPO Logistics has renewed its supply chain contract with Maxxium UK. The spirits company, whose brands include The Famous Grouse, Jim Beam bourbon and Courvoisier cognac, has been a customer of XPO’s since 1999.
XPO is responsible for all of Maxxium’s UK storage at its 125,000 sq ft logistics facility in Mossend, Scotland. The agreement covers contract packing of products for distribution to customers, including major retailers. Transport is managed by XPO in partnership with regional transport providers to optimise costs and customer service.
XPO provides a satellite model, with further warehouses providing additional capacity at peak times. This is particularly important for Maxxium, who realise 50% of sales in just three months of the year.
