Unipart Secures Three-year Scania Contract For Aftermarket Logistics In China
KUALA LUMPUR, June 12 (Bernama) -- Unipart, the supply chain performance improvement partner, has secured a three-year contract with Scania for its aftermarket logistics in China, managed from a newly launched site in Kunshan.
The new operation will deliver a comprehensive scope of aftermarket logistics services. This site is poised for significant expansion, with its size and capacity expected to double within the next 12 months.
Unipart Chief Executive Officer, Darren Leigh in a statement said the successful launch of this project is a direct consequence of Unipart and Scania teams working in partnership to deliver a strategically important offer for their supply chain.
Meanwhile, its Managing Director for Asia Pacific, Carl Williams commented: “This successful collaboration and the operational launch of the Kunshan parts centre underscore Unipart's proven credibility and capability to deliver complex, high-impact projects for global automotive leaders like Scania.”
This strategic site is a key component in Scania's supply chain for China, as it enables the company to consolidate imported and locally sourced products into one strategically located facility with significant capacity for expansion.
From this central point, Scania can now deliver the full range of aftermarket products to all dealer locations across China, directly supporting their growth strategy.
Unipart already has a strong presence in Scania's supply chain in China, currently providing transportation, inland haulage, storage and pre-manufacturing value-added services.
