Plastic pipe supplier awards inbound contract
WAVIN HAS awarded inbound raw materials logistics activities for its Middlesbrough facility to XPO.
On 20 March, XPO began taking inbound receipt of raw materials into its warehouse in Wilton, where the materials are debagged, stored and prepared for transport — new services provided by XPO under an expanded agreement. From there, XPO deploys dedicated road fleet and drivers to transfer the materials to Wavin’s production site in Chippenham as needed. XPO also provides the outbound transport of finished pipe from Wavin plants in Chippenham and Doncaster to destinations throughout the UK. XPO also arranges the transport and clearance of raw materials into the UK from Europe, Mexico and the US. Products destined for Scotland travel from the Chippenham plant via XPO’s rail-road combination.
Wavin transport manager – UK and Ireland Dan Page, says: “Our decision to consolidate end-to-end supply chain management with one of our most trusted partners is already improving efficiency and visibility. XPO’s commitment to our collaboration ensures that we will have all the support we need for years to come.”
