CEVA Wins Logistics Contract With New Entrant to UK DIY Market

CEVA Logistics has won an evergreen contract with Arlec, the Australian-owned designer and manufacturer of electronic and electrical products for the DIY (do-it-yourself) market, part of the consumer & retail sector. Under the deal, which is effective immediately, CEVA will provide warehousing, storage and relabelling services to Arlec from its multi-user site at Mendlesham in Suffolk (United Kingdom).

Arlec has previously designed, marketed and sold high-quality electrical and electronic products only in Australia and New Zealand and its entry into the UK market will enable it to serve its customer Homebase, now owned by Bunnings of Australia. Of the inbound traffic to be handled under the new contract, 95% will be brought to the UK via ocean freight with 5% coming in by air for CEVA to then store and distribute.

CEVA has a long-established tailored approach for companies in the DIY sector globally and has wide experience in managing inbound electronic and electrical products requiring a range of added value services.
