Vestas Wind Systems A/S Outsources Warehouse Operations in Europe to DB Schenker-Ritzau

Ritzau reported that Vestas Wind Systems A/S has decided to outsource its warehouse operations for spare parts and service tools to logistics supplier DB Schenker. This move is part of Vestas’ strategy to reduce operational and capacity costs. Following on that 22 local warehouses will be closed and the new spare parts network will be mainly organised by one central warehouse in Germany, and three area warehouses in Romania, Spain and Sweden. In addition approximately 75 emergency stock locations will be established throughout the EMEA region to secure two-three hour service for turbine spare part orders. Vestas has 150 employees working with the daily operation of spare parts & tools in warehousing in the EMEA region and will adjust the workforce in the warehouses primarily by working to transfer employees to DB Schenker in similar positions or looking for other possibilities within Vestas wherever possible.
