Hellmann Takes Over Logistics Warehouse for Polish Brewery ‘Grupa Żywiec’

The full-service provider Hellmann Worldwide Logistics Polska takes over the warehousing for the Namysłów Brewery, which was acquired in 2019 by the Polish beer producer Grupa Żywiec. This significantly expands the business relationship between Hellmann and the brewery group in the field of contract logistics.

(Osnabrueck/ Raszyn/ Namysłów) Since 2015, the logistics provider based in Osnabrück has been operating a warehouse for Grupa Żywiec at its Gdańsk branch. Shortly thereafter, another warehouse followed at the Poznań location. In addition, Hellmann is already active in road transport for the brewery group, which produces at five locations in Poland.

In recent months, Hellmann Contract Logistics, together with Grupa Żywiec, has created the necessary infrastructure to successfully establish the new in-house logistics project of the brewery in Namysłów, allowing the warehouse to officially commence operations in April 2021. As part of the collaboration, Hellmann takes over all in-house logistics services to optimize the flow of goods on the brewery’s premises in Namysłów.

Management of the Entire Supply Chain

The Hellmann employees on-site manage the entire supply chain as well as all logistical processes to make them sustainable and efficient. Thus, the full-service provider is responsible for both loading and unloading as well as for processing orders from the finished goods warehouse, delivering components to the production line at the various brewery locations, and for transport to the distribution warehouse.

“We are pleased that the collaboration between Hellmann and Grupa Żywiec has developed so positively and trustingly over the years. Our know-how as well as our understanding of customer requirements are a solid basis for a sustainable expansion of our business relationships in the coming years. We are proud to be able to accompany the dynamic development of Grupa Żywiec and thus contribute to overall success,” says Jacek Przybyłowski, Managing Director of Hellmann Worldwide Logistics Polska.

“Hellmann is a ‘global player’ in contract logistics, and it is our goal to further expand our market share in this area in the coming years. The expansion of cooperation with Grupa Żywiec is an important strategic step on this path,” says Volker Sauerborn, Chief Operating Officer Contract Logistics, Hellmann Worldwide Logistics.
