Wincanton is set to operate a newly-built central warehouse in the Slovak town of Senec for tyre manufacturer Goodyear Dunlop. Wincanton will manage the distribution of tyres throughout Slovakia, to the Czech Republic and to Hungary.
“This project is something more than the standard provision of logistics services,” said Lukáš Rek, managing director of Wincanton in the Czech Republic & Slovakia. “It involves the reorganisation and consolidation of our activities in Slovakia and the transfer of our centre from Bratislava to Senec.”
The project is already underway, and is a five-year contract between Wincanton, Goodyear Dunlop Tyres Czech, Goodyear Dunlop Tyres Slovakia, and Goodyear Dunlop Tyres Hungary.
“This project builds on the successful co-operation in Poland, where Wincanton is responsible for operating the Goodyear warehouse in Tarnow, added Rek.
The central warehouse in Senec is the most modern logistics centre in Slovakia. It has storage space of 6,000 m2 and is equipped with the latest information and communication technology.
