Neovia opens logistics facility for Volkswagen 30 October 2014

Serves as a pre-packaging, storage and empty container handling facility

Neovia Logistics has opened an automotive spare parts and warehousing facility for Volkswagen. The new 52,000 m2 operation, which is in close proximity to Volkswagen’s OTC (Genuine Parts and Service Division) site in Kassel, will serve as a pre-packaging and storage facility for genuine aftermarket spare parts, as well as empty container handling.

Shortly after delegations toured nearby Neovia facilities in Breda, Netherlands and Russelsheim, Germany, where they were able to observe Neovia’s Operating System (NOS) in an operational setting, Volkswagen awarded the project after a standard RFQ and negotiation process to Neovia in April.

Utilising Neovia’s proprietary SureStart process, the takeover and implementation project began mid-May. A portion of the project scope included replacing the entire MHE fleet, installing new packing tables and lockers, installing all new IT equipment and network components, as well as providing safety training in preparation for the go-live.

After a meticulously planned, well-managed transition on-site on August 30th and 31st, Neovia officially launched operations at the new facility on 01 September.
