Arvato signs £10m Bosch deal
Outsourcing provider Arvato is set to expand its Birmingham base after it secured a contract worth more than £10m with technology company Bosch Group.
Under the five-year agreement, Arvato will take responsibility for the warehousing and distribution of the lawn and garden product division of Bosch Power Tools in the UK.
All products will be stored and distributed from Arvato's distribution hub at Hams Hall, Birmingham. The company is also planning to expand on the site with an additional 90,000 sq ft of warehousing.
"There is a positive cultural fit between Arvato and Bosch. Both companies have a customer-oriented business philosophy, an ownership structure that enables long-term, sustainable planning and an entrepreneurial spirit that drives innovation and improvement," said Nick Wilson, logistics director for Bosch in the UK.
"Arvato's approach has been collaborative and professional since we started discussions and we are looking forward to creating a long-term and successful partnership together."
