Goodyear Dunlop UK to switch distributors to DHL

Goodyear Dunlop UK has announced that it will change its logistics service provider following the expiration of its current contract for warehousing and distribution activities in quarter three of 2011. The manufacturer has selected DHL as its new provider. It is currently contracted with Norbert Dentressangle, and the companies are now jointly developing a transition plan “to ensure continued outstanding service to customers”, says a Goodyear Dunlop statement. Full details of the transition plan will follow before the end of April.

Norbert Hecking, supply chain director for Goodyear Dunlop said: “This is a strategic move for the company to ensure that we remain competitive as well as ensuring that we maintain our high level of service to our nationwide network of tyre dealers. We will work closely with both Norbert Dentressangle and DHL over the forthcoming months to ensure the transition between operators is smooth and service provision stays at an optimum level.”

DHL is part of the World’s leading logistics group, Deutsche Post DHL. The company offers integrated services and tailored, customer-focused solutions for managing complex logistics for a wide range of manufactured products.
