LGI Group and Citizen Systems Europe Extend Cooperation
26th June 2017
LGI subsidiary ITG is to expand its business with Citizen Systems, a leading manufacturer of printers and calculators. All European warehouse activities will be centralised in the ITG warehouse in Rotterdam for at least the next 3 years.
ITG Global Logistics B.V. and Citizen Systems Europe will extend their existing cooperation for further three years under the deal. To this end, the manufacturer of printers and calculators signed a corresponding agreement with the Dutch subsidiary of the Germany based logistics provider.
Citizen Systems is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Citizen Group of companies, famous for its watches since 1918.
Colin Richardson, Citizen’s EMEA Logistic Manager, reasons the decision: “Citizen has been impressed with the service provided by ITG over the last 10 years and was very happy that ITG could provide a compelling offer to ensure that a new centralised warehouse solution could be agreed with ITG. This will ensure Citizen can manage its stock more efficiently, providing a practical business model, and improving service to its EMEA business partners.”
“We are proud to provide Citizen Systems with logistics services also in the future”, says Reinier Velding, logistics manager of ITG Netherlands.
ITG operates in Rotterdam the logistics centre for Citizen Systems. In addition to classic logistics services such as goods receiving, storage, pick & pack, additional value added services are provided. ITG also handles forwarding activities and parts of the distribution for the customer.
Approximately 4,500 orders are processed for this customer per year – and the activities are increasing since all European warehouse activities will be centralised in the ITG warehouse in Rotterdam as of the 1st of August 2017.
