DB SCHENKER is Elevating Logistics and Empowering Businesses

Building Long-Term Value Through Industrial Warehousing

DB SCHENKER has adopted an industrial approach to warehousing, which means committing to long-term growth and delivering exceptional value to customers. With 650 dedicated experts across 18 sites in the UK and Ireland, all employees deliver a wide range of services tailored to meet specific customer needs, ensuring excellence in every solution.

Key Sectors and Locations

Two key growth sectors are Cloud Logistics and Production Logistics & Spares. These areas have seen significant expansion, with Cloud services currently concentrated in the South but expected to expand northward. To gain a deeper understanding of DB SCHENKER UK & Ireland’s warehouse operations, let’s have a look at two strategically important locations: Tamworth and Middlewich. These sites play a pivotal role in the company’s logistics network, providing essential logistics services to a diverse range of customers.

Reinventing Logistics with Siemens - Driving Innovation in Contract Logistics

DB SCHENKER always puts two things first: operational excellence and the customer. The partnership with Siemens has resulted in achievements in warehousing and logistics for both companies. DB SCHENKER and Siemens achieved a 100% stock accuracy rate through efficient inventory management and streamlined processes, with discrepancies resolved in 24 hours. While the order picking and dispatch times have been halved, compared to the daily target, Siemens and DB SCHENKER have also achieved 100% inventory accuracy. 

Key Sectors of Growth: Cloud and Production Logistics

This level of accuracy is unprecedented in the history of Siemens Congleton, and it has been instrumental in reducing production downtime and improving overall operational efficiency. The collaboration of DB SCHENKER with Siemens has led to the plan of implementing value-added services that enhance the overall customer experience for all DB SCHENKER UK & Ireland customers. By working closely together, 2 key phases will be implemented over the coming year. These initiatives have not only strengthened the partnership but have also positioned DB SCHENKER as a preferred logistics provider for Siemens.

Strategic Sites: Middlewich and Tamworth

"DB SCHENKER has been an outstanding partner for us at Siemens. By providing exceptional logistics operations, flexible and resilient customer service, and industry-leading expertise, their comprehensive approach ensures that our supply chain operates smoothly and efficiently. This has allowed us to focus on what we do best for our customers.” Billy Cartwright, Material Service Manager at Siemens.

Partnership Highlights: Unmatched Efficiency of Siemens and DB SCHENKER

The strategic vision of DB SCHENKER extends beyond current operations. The company plans to consolidate existing facilities into a modern super-shed and establish two additional sites. This expansion will not only streamline operations but also enable DB SCHENKER to better serve new customers and strengthen its customer relations with strategic product expertise. By investing in its infrastructure and capabilities, DB SCHENKER is positioning itself for continued growth and success in the logistics industry.
