DuFlon expand their Röhlig Logistics partnership by developing a new European Logistics Hub

SOLIHULL, U.K. - Aug. 31, 2016 - PRLog -- DuFlon have just finalised a new arrangement with Röhlig UK for a Birmingham based European Hub to provide a better service for shipments to customers across Europe. DuFlon will be taking advantage of Röhlig's new state of the art facility in Birmingham as an outsourced warehouse and their pick and pack services. Their long-term strategic partnership has realised benefits for both partners and both are keen to develop even closer working arrangements.

DuFlon is one of the world's leading fluoropolymer processors and suppliers of components in PTFE. With use of cutting edge technology and engineering know-how in the lining of components with fluoropolymers, polymers and elastomers, the business is built upon close working relationships with their customers for whom they design bespoke parts. It's the value of these bespoke components that make it imperative that DuFlon's goods arrive at their destination on time and ready for immediate use by their blue chip corporate clients. By trading with Röhlig, making use of their own owned airfreight & LCL consolidated cargo systems, the costs of freight have been reduced. The management time saved that was previously spent on logistics administration tasks has been significant.

"Our working relationship with Röhlig is such that they are stakeholders for us rather than just a supplier and they are a very important part of our business "explained Hariharan Ramachandran, the Global Operations Manager at DuFlon. "The benefits of working with Röhlig is that they really understand our business needs. They treat our goods as if they are their own which is in contrast to our experience of working with other freight forwarders. "

Gary Pryke, MD of Röhlig UK says "Our IT logistics systems have built–in goods controls so all staff know exactly where goods are in transit. Day to day communication is done on a very personal level with our customers and our extensive network of local offices mean we offer flexible local support that's very convenient for DuFlon in Mumbai, the UK and the USA. This provides a great synergy for both companies and saves the DuFlon operational team a lot of time as there is rarely a need to call Röhlig."

Röhlig UK pride themselves on developing close working, long term partnerships with all their customers that deliver them real benefits in terms of cost efficiencies.
