29 March 2006 - 12:16 CET
More than 100 suppliers involved in Italy and foreign countries, 650 different types of components, more than 156,000 cubic meters of materials: these are the main figures of the recent agreement between TNT Logistics Italy, leading logistics provider in Italy and Pininfarina SpA, world-famous company designing the most beautiful cars in the world and, since several years, full service provider for the Automotive industry.According to the terms of the deal, with a total value of 12 mln Euros for 3 years, TNT Logistics Italy will manage all the component transportation flows from the suppliers to the production sites ("inbound logistics"): the components will be used for the production of the Brera, the new 2+2 sports coupé of Alfa Romeo.
TNT Logistics will collect all the materials (components, spare parts, etc...) from more than 90 suppliers in Italy and 10 foreign suppliers (in Austria, Germany, Poland and Spain) and will manage the transports, on a daily basis, towards the two Pininfarina's production sites, located in Grugliasco (TO) and San Giorgio Canavese (TO). The materials provided will be necessary for the assembly of the sports cars in the next 5 years.
"This agreement", commented Gianfranco Sgro, President and Managing Director of TNT Logistics Italy, "is another step forward for our company in the Automotive sector, in which it is leading with customers such as FIAT, Lancia, Alfa Romeo and Renault. This sector represents almost 50% of the group revenue in Italy. The reliance granted by Pininfarina, thanks to our capabilities in proposing value added and integrated logistics services, strengthen more and more the leadership of TNT Logistics both in the domestic and international market".
