As part of PepsiCo’s outsourcing of warehouse and distribution operations, DB Schenker Logistics has been selected as the operator of four Regional Distribution Centers (RDC) located in Warsaw, Łódź, Kraków, and Kielce, with a total area of approximately 25,000 square meters.
The agreement also includes the management of approximately 50 transshipment platforms and transport from factories to the RDCs, and subsequently from the RDCs to the transshipment platforms.
– Our company focuses on continuous improvement and development. We make every effort to ensure that the projects we implement add value to our clients’ supply chains and strengthen their market position – says Janusz Górski, CEO of Schenker Sp. z o.o.
By consolidating a distributed network of warehouses for various client products into a single distribution system, PepsiCo will be able to utilize its resources much more effectively, respond faster to changing market needs, and optimize costs throughout the entire supply chain. At the beginning of July, the first Regional Distribution Center was launched in Łódź, with further locations to be implemented in the coming months.
– The cooperation with PepsiCo is another major logistics project managed by our company – says Dariusz Doroś, Director of Warehouse Logistics at Schenker Sp. z o.o. – This is a significant expansion of our cooperation. Previously, it covered smaller warehouse operations in Łódź, Białystok, and Gliwice. We are pleased that we could participate in preparing an optimal supply chain model for PepsiCo’s combined businesses and that we can support the development of this client’s business in Poland with the potential of DB Schenker Logistics.
