Comprehensive logistics service, a new warehouse in Stryków, value-added services, and distribution to customers across the country.
DB Schenker Logistics has launched a warehouse in Stryków for a new client in Poland – Orlen Oil, a leader in the oil industry, and will provide deliveries to an extensive network of customers as part of a comprehensive service. The logistics operator is responsible for receiving goods from factories, storage, order picking from small to multi-pallet shipments, and handling hazardous materials. The agreement also covers transport services – the distribution of the client’s goods to an extensive network of recipients throughout the country. DB Schenker Logistics also provides value-added services, including return management, e.g., seasonal goods.
– Until now, we have based our logistics and transport operations entirely on our own resources. Due to the company’s growth, we decided to outsource this area of competence to an experienced external company. Cooperation with a renowned operator will allow us to increase our territorial reach on one hand and standardize processes on the other, while simultaneously reducing costs – says Marcin Gralewski, President of the Management Board of Orlen Oil Sp. z o.o.
For Orlen Oil, not only is the high quality of products crucial, but also their availability to customers at a specific time and place, which is why effective and safe logistics are very important.
– Cooperation with Orlen Oil is another major logistics project managed by DB Schenker Logistics in Poland. We strive to ensure that our actions add value to our clients’ supply chains and strengthen their market position – says Janusz Górski, CEO of DB Schenker Logistics in Poland. – In every project we undertake, we focus on continuous improvement, the elimination of waste, and the efficient use of resources, which is a key element of the Lean culture we are building in our company.
Many Orlen Oil products are classified as hazardous goods, which requires compliance with ADR regulations and standards, both in storage and distribution. To this end, the warehouse in Stryków has been equipped with special chambers for storing chemical products. Specialized fire protection systems, including automatic sprinklers, have been installed on the ceilings and walls. The warehouse in Stryków has an area of over 5,600 sqm. It has 6,000 pallet spaces, and it can receive 50,000 pallets, process 100,000 orders, and ship 670,000 packages annually.
