SynLOG, the logistics initiative jointly created by the producers’ association Herstellerverband Haus & Garten and the industry group Industrieverband Garten (IVG), has extended its service partnership with Dachser by another two years. As part of a reorientation effort, the supplier cooperative is now relying exclusively on Dachser as its partner in groupage logistics for its members.
“As a purchasing cooperative, SynLOG’s goal is to achieve bundling effects in supplier logistics and thereby strengthen the market position of the associations’ firms,” explains Markus Schering, head of SynLOG. “So we are now focusing on a single industry provider to ensure full compliance with groupage systems. For us, Dachser is a long-standing partner that combines an extremely broad market presence with a strategic focus on value-added services like fulfilment and merchandising.”
Every year Dachser transports around 4.3 million home improvement centre shipments and supplies 18,000 DIY outlets throughout Europe within strictly defined time slots. This reduces ramp contacts and optimizes the flow of goods. Producers enjoy the high quality and certainty of uniform delivery performance for their retail customers throughout Europe.
