XPO, a leading provider of innovative transport and logistics solutions in Europe, and Wavin, one of the world\u2019s top manufacturers of plastic pipe systems, have renewed and expanded their long-time partnership in the UK. XPO was recently awarded inbound raw materials logistics activities for Wavin in Wilton, Middlesbrough, extending XPO\u2019s role to include the management of raw materials, in addition to site-to-site transport and end-customer distribution.<\/p>\n
On 20 March, XPO began taking inbound receipt of raw materials into its warehouse in Wilton, where the materials are debagged, stored and prepared for transport \u2014 new services provided by XPO under the expanded agreement. From there, XPO deploys dedicated road fleet and drivers to transfer the materials to Wavin\u2019s production site in Chippenham as needed. XPO also provides the outbound transport of finished pipe from Wavin plants in Chippenham and Doncaster to destinations throughout the UK. XPO also arranges the transport and clearance of raw materials into the UK from Europe, Mexico and the US.<\/p>\n
Dan Page, transport manager \u2013 UK and Ireland, Wavin, said, \u201cOur decision to consolidate end-to-end supply chain management with one of our most trusted partners is already improving efficiency and visibility. XPO\u2019s commitment to our collaboration ensures that we will have all the support we need for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
Products destined for Scotland travel from the Chippenham plant via XPO\u2019s innovative rail-road combination. This multimodal solution can significantly lower both C02 emissions and NOx particles per trip. The process is managed from end to end by XPO\u2019s technology platform, which integrates all of the company\u2019s transport services for Wavin, including dedicated truckload, less-than-truckload, and a bespoke parcel delivery service.<\/p>\n
