As you know, logistics, acting as an indicator of economic phenomena in the country and in the world, seeks to optimize the costs and improve the efficiency of business processes. Today, this trend is most clearly seen and companies are striving to get really working tools for efficient logistics management. CeMAT RUSSIA 2018 exhibition (we inform about its results on the pages of the tenth issue), as well as the LOGISTICS journal, which helps find various technological and organizational solutions for optimizing logistic processes in companies, can be considered to be such tools.
The events of recent weeks demonstrate high business activity in the field of logistics. This is confirmed by the emergence of new non-standard events, such as the first Congress of Managers and Specialists in Logistics and Supply Chains of Manufacturers and Retailers, participants and partners of the Council of Supply Chain Professionals, as well as the first Russian Forum – "Logistics Leaders 2018" where the leaders of international and Russian companies gathered.
The spring of 2018 was full of events. In April we took part in the TransRussia exhibition 2018, then we left for the CeMAT exhibition in Hanover, where according to traditions “LOGISTICS” journal presented a digest in English – RUSSIAN LOGISTICS JOURNAL – to the audience. Then we left Hanover for Ireland to be present at the opening of a new plant of the Combilift company. The report materials on the results of these events can be found on the pages of the new issue.

Under the new contract, Kuehne + Nagel is responsible for the entire logistics management of Castorama’s 63 000 sqm distribution centre holding up to 12 000 Stock Keeping Units (SKU). The comprehensive tailor-made solution includes value-added contract logistics services using state-of-the-art processes, such as pick-by-voice and other technologies, and is geared to maximize storage and handling efficiency.
“The ever-expanding range of products, sizes, styles, weights, colours and other SKU variations, continually enlarges the inventory profile of retailers,” says Perry Neumann, President Cluster Russia + Belarus and General Director of Kuehne + Nagel LLC. “We are very happy to underline our long-standing contract logistics expertise by being able to support our important customer Castorama with a powerful integrated solution for a more efficient and cost-effective warehouse management.”
