Menlo Logistics Extends the Footprint of its Amsterdam Operations

Significant increased demand for services from a key hi-tech customer has required Menlo Logistics (Menlo), the global logistics and supply chain management unit of Con-way Inc. (NYSE: CNW), to open a third facility in Amsterdam.  The 15,200 m² warehouse in the Westpoort area
of the city came into operation in August and is dedicated to fulfilling a wide range of value-added services for a global brand client at the top end of hi-tech equipment provision.
Menlo’s General Manager in Amsterdam, Bart Roters welcomed the expansion,

“We are of course delighted that our client is entrusting Menlo with the increased supply of logistics services.  But, most significantly an expansion of the complex portfolio of value-added services that complement the client’s sophisticated supply chain infrastructure here in Europe,”

he said.
In addition to repackaging of product and testing for malfunctions Menlo also runs MRP (Materials Requirement Planning) for the packaging demands of the client throughout the European market and arranges JIT (Just In Time) delivery to production sites in the region.  Menlo also supports scrapping and dismantling processes as required.
In welcoming the expansion Menlo’s Managing Director Europe, Tony Gunn, commented,

“The global supply chains characterized by the hi-tech sector have many demanding facets.  We feel that Menlo’s culture of developing long-term, resilient customer relationships and our ability to adapt to dynamic changes in demand is particularly relevant in this sector.  In this case we are delighted to provide a high profile client with a state-of-the art facility to support its significant growth plans and extension of our current contract.”
