BONFIGLIOLI NZ EXPANSION ENHANCES LOGISTICS, EFFICIENCY AND STOCK AVAILABILITY Bonfiglioli is expanding its New Zealand branch with a 25% bigger warehouse, workshop and freight transitioning area as part of an overall plan to streamline logistics, optimise stock availability and better serve customer needs. The Auckland-based branch serves all of New Zealand, by providing high quality gears, motors and drives suited to factory and processing automation plants, food and beverage, materials handling, printing, processing of metals, textiles, paper, glass, stone and wood processing, mining and energy, wastewater, waste and bulk handling operations. “We typically work on shorter lead times than other branches anyway, due to the nature of the business in NZ. We need to be able to pack and assemble for 3-4 day deliveries at times,” says Neil Pollington, Bonfiglioli New Zealand country manager. “Our competitive advantage is why this upgrade is vital to the continuous improvement of our business. It gives us greater flexibility in the handling, warehousing and assembly of products, which optimises stock availability and lead times,” he says. The expansion of the NZ branch is part of a strategic plan to grow the entire operation with MOTORS, DRIVERS & TRANSMISSIONS 20 June 2017
