Damco drives home Michelin deal
 
01 March 2010 – Damco has been appointed by Michelin, one of the world’s largest tire manufacturers, as its logistics and customs clearance provider in Vietnam.
The three-year contract will see Damco handling Michelin’s export from Thailand into Vietnam, inland transportation, cross-docking and distribution to customers in Vietnam. Damco will also manage warehouse operations for Michelin in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, where Damco’s warehouse is state of the art and the first in Vietnam with RF guns and full EDI direct interface.
The new logistics set up will enable Michelin to distribute directly to almost 100 dealers across the country.
“We are very happy to be able to contribute to the success of Michelin. As a market leader, Michelin naturally sets very high standards and has great expectations of its business partners. We worked hard to understand Michelin’s needs, and ensure we do everything we can to meet its requirements,” said Narin Phol, Country Manager for Damco in Vietnam and Cambodia.
