Norbert Dentressangle builds fleet and centre for CTG 04 April 2012

Norbert Dentressangle has invested more than £1 million in a new site at Rugby, primarily to serve as a national distribution centre for Continental Tyre Group (CTG).

The firm has also acquired a new 50-strong fleet of radial vehicles, including Renault 18-tonne rigids, 7.5-tonne rigids and long wheel based (LWB) vans – adding to its existing fleet of 35 articulated vehicles for trunking, cross-dock and bulk deliveries.

CTG's logistics partner since 2006, Norbert Dentressangle is responsible for storage and distribution of tyres to retailers and fitters throughout the UK.

The new site is also one of the first to get CTG's in-house warehouse management system, which has been interfaced with Norbert Dentressangle's own SHARP3 transport planning system, providing real-time visibility of stock throughout the supply chain.
