Automotive components manufacturer Sertec has awarded Amco a contract to manage its logistics network and transport requirements.
Amco will have a dedicated transport planning team in the 145,000 sq ft Sertec Logistics Centre at Hams Hall, to manage transport flow between Sertec’s five manufacturing facilities in the midlands.
The Amco Logistics Centre in Worcester, will manage the transport and logistics requirement using Amco’s own fleet of vehicles, to distribute across the UK and Europe for Sertec manufacturing.

The company has six manufacturing sites, and a Logistics Hub in the UK, plus a manufacturing site based in Germany and another in Hungary and a tooling operation in China.
