Stanelco, manufacturer of BioPlast biodegradable resin, has chosen Meachers Group as its logistics provider. The deal was made as part of the company’s plan to outsource its distribution from Manchester and Southampton.
Meachers’ recently expanded Derby depot will manage the flow of goods and services throughout the supply chain including warehousing, order processing and distribution, to customers throughout the UK.
Oast Agencies, Meachers’ Southampton based freight forwarding arm, will handle the shipment of goods to Stanelco’s customers in Europe, the USA and other export areas.
Dave Wetters, sales director, Stanelco, said: “Meachers was chosen because it had the advantage of having its headquarters close to us at Southampton yet could provide us with cost effective warehousing and distribution from its centrally located depot in Derby. The fact that its freight forwarding company, Oast Agencies, can organise shipments of product to Europe and our more distant markets was also a significant advantage.”
