Jul 01, 2005. /Lesprom Network/. Duni, a Swedish-based provider of paper and plastic products to the food service industry, is consolidating four of its existing distribution centers into one OH Logistics multi-client facility located near Nashville. Phase I of the project includes storing and distributing Duni's plastics products-primarily "to go" containers used by restaurants in North America. Phase II will include Duni's line of paper products, including napkins and table covers. Duni expects to require approximately 200,000 square feet of distribution space. Magnus Berg, Director of supply chain Americas for Duni, said Nashville was a natural draw for the operation because of its central location for North American distribution. "We did not want to carry overhead for an entire building so the flexibility offered by OH Logistics in its shared facility was a great fit for us," Berg said. "OH Logistics offers Duni flexibility for growth within the Nashville campus and our entire network," said Fred Loeffel, Senior Vice President of OH Logistics. "Duni chose OH Logistics as its supply chain management provider based on our presence in Nashville, the cultural fit between the companies, our systems offering, transportation management expertise and overall value." "Technology was important in our 3PL selection," said Lonnie Turner, Director of logistics Americas for Duni. "This partnership has taken Duni from a manual distribution environment to a fully automated one in a very short time and the systems give us the tools we need to make informed decisions and to be more competitive." Duni is utilizing OH Logistics' WMS, Synapse(TM), and its TMS, G-Log(R) Global Command and Control Center(TM) (GC3(TM)). Both systems are web-enabled and provide Duni visibility throughout the supply chain. "I consider this implementation a success," said Berg, "We have not missed any shipments and our customers are happy. We look forward to expanding our relationship with OH Logistics in 2006."
