are handled in the new 16,000 m² warehouse.
Grevenmacher (Luxembourg) – Space increased, collaboration expanded: The global logistics service provider Logwin has been managing the new dry goods distribution centre for the trading company SPAR Croatia since November 2010. Since the beginning of this year, Logwin has also been responsible for operations at the new SPAR fresh goods distribution centre. Both facilities are located in Sveta Nedelja, around 15 kilometres west of Zagreb. Before this, Logwin had been the in-house logistics service provider at the previous facility in Jankomir for three and a half years.
SPAR products on 21,000 m2
The relocation has seen SPAR more than double its central distribution centre capacity: Instead of the previous 6,700 m2 in Jankomir, the premises in Sveta Nedelja offer around 16,000 m2. Around 6,500 food and non-food items are handled here. The high bay warehouse with a ceiling height of 12 metres is located in a state-of-the-art logistics park. SPAR Croatia also moved into a 5,000 m2 refrigerated warehouse for dairy products, meat, fruit and vegetables on the same site in January. In both facilities Logwin has assumed the role of in-house logistics service provider, managing incoming goods inspection, storage, picking, retrieval, loading and value added services such as for instance labelling. Around 20,000 pallets are transhipped every month.
At the centre of the action
“On-site logistics for our customers relies on flexibility and responsiveness“, says Mario Aschbacher, Head of Sales and Key Account Management within the Logwin business segment Solutions. “Optimal coordination and precision are the be all and end all.” SPAR has been continually expanding its network of stores in Croatia in recent months: The retail group now operates 15 INTERSPAR and three SPAR supermarkets. Jürgen Hämmerle, Head of Logistics at Aspiag Management AG : “The expansion has seen the demand for reliable warehousing services grow. The new brief confirms both companies’ high level of mutual confidence.”
Logwin has been involved in Croatia since 1994. The logistics service provider operates branches in Zagreb, Osijek, Vukovar and Tovarnik, employing around 100 staff. In Croatia, Logwin is serving retail and mechanical engineering customers, among others.
