Published on: 18th January 2023

Rhenus says its new, sustainable warehousing campus will bolster the logistics specialist’s current slate of services.

Rhenus Warehousing Solutions UK provides toy companies with dependable logistics solutions, covering all aspects of supply chain management. The logistics specialist offers a comprehensive range of warehousing and distribution services to support retail, wholesale and eCommerce customers in the toy sector. The company is part of the Rhenus Group, one of the leading logistics specialists, with global business operations and an annual turnover amounting to €7b.

Operating out of Lutterworth, Leicestershire, Rhenus is currently building a new, sustainable warehousing campus in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, which will total 1m square feet. Upon completion, the development will be certified BREEAM Outstanding and fully adhere to the net zero operational carbon framework put forth by the UK Green Building Council (UKGBC). Solar panels, air source heat pumps and electric car charging points are being installed to provide Rhenus with renewable energy and help customers achieve their own carbon zero goals.

Over the past 30 years, Rhenus Warehousing Solutions UK has worked with numerous major retailers and built up a foundation of expertise, ensuring it is a leader in the industry. Because of the extensive experience it has working with toy manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers, Rhenus understands how dynamic the toy industry is and provides a range of tried-and-true solutions that work. This means those in the toy sector can focus on their core business, leaving Rhenus to take care of the supply chain from end to end.

By working with Rhenus, toy companies benefit from increased efficiency, agility and productivity, the ability to manage peak seasons and support with new product launches. Using the latest integrated IT and warehousing systems, and new innovations in automation, Rhenus ensures its customers get the best service possible.

To set itself apart from other third-party suppliers, Rhenus also works to form long-term partnerships with each client, rather than simply offering a ‘paid-for’ service. As part of each partnership, the company delivers a tailored approach suited to the manufacturer’s individual needs.

Kerry Delaney, regional managing director North-West Europe at Rhenus Warehousing Solutions UK, told Toy World: “We’ve been working within the toy sector for many years now, and are proud to have developed a highly effective system that caters to the unique demands and challenges of the industry. Over the years, we’ve acquired all the specialist knowledge needed to ensure toy companies’ operations and supply chains run as smoothly as possible. At Rhenus, we’re on hand to provide customers with all our support and expertise, and our team of highly experienced colleagues is fully equipped to ensure quality is maintained and deadlines are met.”
