Cosmeticus H&B appoints Norbert Dentressangle

Norbert Dentressangle has been appointed to handle UK warehousing and distribution for Cosmeticus H&B Ltd – an importer and distributor of beauty, health and hygiene products.

Based in Borehamwood, Cosmeticus H&B Ltd supplies own label patient, baby, travel and facial wipes to major retailers and wholesalers including Superdrug and Robinson Healthcare. The company also supplies natural oil product, Micromed, to more than 700 Boots stores throughout the UK.

Under the new agreement, Norbert Dentressangle Logistics UK receives containerised product into its 100,000 sq ft warehouse at Dunstable where it is palletised and stored prior to onward delivery into the retailers’ distribution networks.

Cosmeticus H&B Ltd previously employed a local third party logistics provider to manage the operation and appointed Norbert Dentressangle Logistics UK based on its ability to offer a significantly more efficient service and a solution which could grow with the company. Norbert Dentressangle’s extensive experience in serving the major multiple retail sector was also a factor in Cosmeticus’ decision.

Cosmeticus H&B Ltd Director, Roberta Harris said: “In addition to the ongoing development of our ranges to offer innovative, competitive new products, we needed a robust yet responsive distribution infrastructure to provide our retail and wholesale customers with the optimum balance of accuracy, availability and cost.

“Norbert Dentressangle has both the resource and the expertise to ensure that our supply chain can continue meet the high expectations of our major retail customers.”
