Lecico, the manufacturer of bathroom suites and fittings, has appointed Palletways to handle its deliveries to plumbers and builders merchants across the UK.
Palletways expects to move more than 20,000 pallets a year for Lecico.
Sean Klemis, supply chain director at Lecico, said: “What impressed us most was Palletways’ new Digital Information Hub. The online portal allows us see the current status of all of our consignments in real-time plus the new one-hour ETA function means our staff have access to time critical information which is important when responding to customer enquiries.”
Lecico has factories in Alexandria, Egypt, Kfarchima, Lebanon and Vitry-le-François, France with the capacity to produce more than 6.7 million pieces of sanitary ware and 28 million sq m of tiles per year. It’s UK distribution centre is in Bedford.
Steve Waterhouse of Palletways said: “Winning this business means we will be using expertise and resource from a number of our members, including H&M Distribution in Bedfordshire, who will undertake trunking from Lecico to our hub in Greenford and also Palletways London who will transport a number of trailers everyday to headquarters in the Midlands to assist with balances.”
