Vipal to Open Distribution Centre in Hamburg
Vipal Europe is to establish a new distribution centre in Hamburg, Germany. According to the company Vipal Europe’s market share has been substantially increasing in recent years, forcing the company to revise its earlier targets for 2008. Establishing a strong presence has been Vipal’s main concern, hence the decision to set-up the new warehouse. “We believe in the European Market and we are ready to attend all of its needs: quality, competitiveness, logistics and service”, said Leandro Rigon, International Business Manager of Borrachas Vipal.
The announcement comes after Leandro Rigon visited the Vipal Europe team in March to communicate the company’s new Europe strategy. Following board approval for European retreading market ‘macro strategies’ in October 2007, Rigon explained what Vipal Europe needs to do to become “one of the largest suppliers of tyre repair and retread products in Europe.”
