XPO Logistics works with Arco

‘XPO will help to ensure our customers receive the vital safety equipment they need to run their operations,’ said Neil Griffiths, divisional director, logistics
XPO Logistics has been awarded a national distribution contract by Arco, supplier of safety equipment, workwear, gloves and maintenance supplies to several industries including oil and gas.
Arco has been growing rapidly and recently invested £4 million in its 27,000 square metre national distribution centre in Hull, where the company is based. XPO will manage the movement of up to 60,000 pallets a year for Arco from Hull to 11 strategically placed regional hubs and onwards to customers through its own distribution network.
“The scale of XPO enables us to be flexible across the UK, while their technological know-how provides invaluable on-site scanning, consignment management and tracking, direct order entry and resource optimisation tools,” said Arco’s Neil Griffiths, divisional director, logistics.
“As we continue to grow, we know that XPO will be there with us, helping to ensure our customers receive the vital safety equipment they need to run their operations.”
“Our distribution solutions for Arco will help them shape their growth ambitions and deliver superior customer service,” added Arron Kendall, commercial director, XPO Logistics.
“We are proud to support them in achieving both objectives. Our fully integrated shared user network and extensive experience add significant value in the form of enhanced productivity, quality and cost-effectiveness.”
