Fabrics firm boosts airfreight logistics
18 October 2024
Facing significant challenges with transatlantic deliveries and the need to uphold its reputation for delivery reliability, Camira Fabrics, a leading UK textile manufacturer, has signed a contract with DB Schenker to enhance its airfreight logistics operations.
THE CONTRACT, which started this summer, has allowed Camira to streamline its supply chain, maintain delivery speed, and capitalise on new business opportunities.
Camira Fabrics, headquartered in Yorkshire, produces upholstery and panel textiles for diverse sectors including commercial, education, healthcare, hospitality, and passenger transport. With over eight million meters of fabric in transit annually, the company relies on rapid, dependable delivery to meet critical project deadlines.
A strategic review of Camira’s logistics, driven by recent external challenges like Brexit, Covid-19, and rising global costs, revealed potential opportunities to optimise its distribution process. This led to the partnership with DB Schenker, which developed a customised Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to address these challenges.
