[ January 9, 2019   //   Chris ]

Rhenus Logistics’ arm, Rhenus Warehouse Solutions Europe has acquired Leicestershire-based 3PL provider Core Management Logistics (CML). It specialises in warehousing, pre-retail, freight forwarding and distribution services for the UK market.
Founded in 1990, CML currently occupies more than 45,000sq m of warehousing space at three facilities, on Lutterworth’s Magna Park. The company is geared towards the requirements of the UK e-commerce sector and is also the UK’s only provider of Green GOH, a garment-on-hanger solution for the transportation of hanging garments in containers.
Andreas Plikat, managing director of Rhenus Warehousing Solutions Europe, commented: “We view the acquisition of Core Management Logistics as an investment in our expansion strategy in Great Britain.”
Rhenus Warehousing Solutions Europe also operates logistics centres in Germany, Switzerland, France, the Netherlands and Poland.
Mark Webb, managing director of CML, added: “We will benefit from a strong global network offering our customers additional European operations and transport capabilities, as well as new opportunities for our employees.”
