Italian company Carcano Antonio has awarded a six-year contract to Kuehne + Nagel to manage its in-house logistics.
Specialising in the field of aluminium foil rolling and converting, Carcano has two production plants in Delebio and Mandello, where it applies a fully integrated and traceable production process, from the raw material to the finished product.
In order to simplify the current logistics model and to increase operational efficiency, Kuehne + Nagel will now implement an equally standardised operational approach across the company’s entire logistics operations.
Within the partnership, the logistics provider will reportedly be responsible for the set-up and storage of coils coming from the manufacturing sites and picking and shipment to the customers, including domestic and international transport.
30 workers that were previously employed at Carcano’s warehouses are expected to be transferred to the in-house logistics operations carried out by Kuehne + Nagel in order to ensure a seamless transition of processes.
In addition, Kuehne + Nagel said it will support the design of the layout and set-up of Carcano’s new logistics centre in Andalo, which is currently being built.
“We selected Kuehne + Nagel thanks to its values, know-how, credibility and the constant attention paid to people: a careful choice of the right partner can ensure a total integration of the logistics in our industrial system”, commented Paolo Mari, Organization Development Director of Carcano.
Ruggero Poli, Managing Director of Kuehne + Nagel Italy said: “We are very pleased that Carcano chose Kuehne + Nagel to manage their logistics activities. This new contract is a result of our proven expertise in production logistics and motivates us to continue innovating and developing solutions that effectively support our customers in their day-to-day business challenges.”
