Kerry Logistics contract with Continental extended

Kerry Logistics Network has been awarded a four-year contract extension with Continental.

Kerry Logistics Germany will handle international ocean freight export of tyres, and provide logistics services for the technology company’s procurement of raw materials daily from Asia to production sites all over the globe.

The local team has been working with Continental for over 25 years and is managing ever increasing freight volume. Kerry Logistics’ strong network in Asia and the key account set up in Germany are crucial to guaranteeing smooth procurement operations. The tyre production process relies on a number of different raw materials such as natural and synthetic rubber, carbon black, steel cord, and various chemicals. These raw materials are sourced from countries such as China, Thailand, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, and India.

“We are delighted to continue our cooperation with Kerry Logistics,” said Jorge Almeida, Senior Vice President Rubber Division Purchasing & Corporate Indirect Materials at Continental. “Kerry Logistics’ global network supports us in our growth strategy and expansion of our international business. The team in Bremen provides tailored solutions that meet our supply chain demands, leveraging our sourcing and export activities in multiple countries.“
