TM Logistics has rolled out a new contract with a top international automotive component manufacturer.
One of the world's leading light metal manufacturers, Norwegian owned Hydro Aluminium UK, has awarded a new and improved £1.2 million contract to Midlands-based TM Logistics, making the firm its primary logistics provider.
The three-year deal sees TM Logistics managing a warehousing and just-in-time delivery operation for Hydro Aluminium's Worcester base, where chassis are made for high performance marques such as Aston Martin.
The two firms have built a strong partnership since 2002 when TM Logistics was awarded its first contract with Hydro Aluminium. Company supply chain manager Paul Rowbery said: "We wanted a partner who would understand the complexities of our requirements and who can cope with our future growth. Their proactive interaction with us to develop ongoing business needs has meant that our relationship is now stronger then ever."
TM's Stephen Taylor said: "It's a volatile climate for automotive manufacturing, but this is proof that component manufacturing is still very much alive in the Midlands.
"We have the expertise, critical mass and production knowledge in sequencing operations to fulfil Hydro's needs."
