DSV Road expands transport and logistics services with Tullis Russell Papermakers

In a new five year contract

The papermaking and specialist coating group Tullis Russell has awarded DSV Road a five year contract to handle all warehousing and logistics requirements for its Glenrothes mill in Scotland.

DSV Road is already a key freight forwarding supplier to Tullis Russell, handling many of the company’s shipments to customers in the UK and the rest of Europe.

Tullis Russell was previously handling the operation via its own warehouse in nearby Southfield but decided to outsource the work after a full internal review prompted by the end of the warehouse lease.

Tullis Russell Group CEO Chris Parr says: “As an employee owned business, this was not a decision we took lightly. The move was vitally important to us and it was critical that we partnered with the right logistics company. We are delighted to be working with DSV Road and look forward to working as partners together to deliver real improvements to our logistics operations and ultimately our customer service levels”

DSV Road UK Managing Director Jesper Hansen says: “Tullis Russell is a long-standing customer and business partner of DSV Road. We are very pleased that they recognise the value of a long-term business relationship with DSV Road.

“We view the expansion of the relationship as a positive endorsement for our company and we will continue delivering excellent levels of customer service. We look forward to implementing the new transport and logistics solution over the next few months.”

Tullis Russell, an independent employee-owned company was established in 1809. It has three major manufacturing sites, two in the UK and one in South Korea. Each has developed market leading expertise in its own field and is trusted by leading brands in more than 120 countries. The Glenrothes site specialises in high quality paper and board products.

DSV Road, the third largest logistics provider in Europe, is part the DSV Group which also includes DSV Air & Sea and DSV Solutions.
