Tata selects Abbey

Abbey Logistics has been selected by Tata Chemicals Europe to exclusively manage all bulk powder transport and logistics for all its products, including sister company British Salt, across the UK.

Tata Chemicals is one of the world’s leading producers of sodium carbonate (soda ash) and sodium bicarbonate. Sodium carbonate is a key raw material used in glass, detergent and chemical manufacturing.

Abbey will provide transport for all products in bulk powder road tankers and distribute them to British Salt and Tata Chemicals Europe customers throughout the UK. Abbey will also take responsibility for transport planning and all on-site logistics services, and work in partnership with Tata Chemicals Europe and British Salt to develop and improve distribution flexibilities and reliability to meet cyclical volume demands of individual products.

Tata Chemicals’ head of procurement, Pauline Sumner said: “Through working with Abbey for a number of years we have seen first-hand the dedication and commitment they give to their customers. The partnership we have built has improved the service we provide our customers as we are able to deliver a safe, flexible and scalable transport solution, which is vital in the markets we serve.”
