Kinaxia Logistics, based in Macclesfield, has secured a two-year extension to its multimillion-pound contract with Eurocell, a prominent uPVC manufacturer and distributor. The extension is a testament to Kinaxia’s exceptional service, which has been pivotal in cementing this relationship. The initial agreement spanned five years and has now been prolonged until September 2026, covering operations throughout the UK and Ireland.
Under the terms of the contract, Kinaxia is responsible for the transportation of stock from Eurocell’s manufacturing facilities in Derbyshire to its national distribution centre in Alfreton. From there, Kinaxia undertakes daily deliveries to more than 200 Eurocell branches and fabricators. The company offers flexible warehousing and import-export services on demand, exemplifying its commitment to meeting Eurocell’s varied logistical needs.
Eurocell provides a comprehensive range of products, including doors, windows, and garden rooms, available through a network of branches and online sales channels. They supply over 10,000 home improvement products to a diverse clientele, including trade professionals and homeowners. To support these operations, Kinaxia operates a dedicated fleet of more than 40 vehicles, enabling a continuous 24/7 service and achieving a remarkable 99.96% on-time delivery performance rate.
To further enhance service delivery, Kinaxia is piloting a night fulfilment programme to maintain optimum stock levels at key branches. Additionally, the newly extended contract includes the implementation of artificial intelligence software designed to optimise routing and reduce delivery miles, therefore lowering emissions. This technology will analyse real-time traffic and distribution data to streamline logistics processes.
Simon Nelson, Kinaxia Logistics’ Chief Operating Officer, expressed that the contract extension reflects the excellent service and strategic teamwork with Eurocell. Nelson highlighted the continuous improvements made over the initial contract period, which have led to significant environmental and financial savings, thereby reinforcing Eurocell’s market position. Robin Balderstone, Eurocell’s Head of Procurement, echoed these sentiments, emphasizing the transparent and productive collaboration between the two entities, making the decision to extend the contract straightforward.
The continued partnership between Kinaxia Logistics and Eurocell highlights the critical role of high-performance logistics in supporting distribution across the UK and Ireland.
