Wärtsilä Water & Waste, a business unit of the Wärtsilä technology group, has partnered with DHL Supply Chain. DHL will offer its expertise in warehousing and logistics operations for spare parts management, further boosting the efficiency of Wärtsilä Water & Waste’s supply chain and bolster operational capabilities in anticipation of the business’s upcoming sale.
The partnership fulfils a key component of Wärtsilä Water & Waste’s strategic objectives to attain operational independence in business operations while sustaining the high-quality service associated with the Wärtsilä brand. The partnership is expected to reduce lead times and improve efficiencies for both existing and future customers.
“We’re always striving to improve our operations and our customers’ experience, which this partnership is a great example of. By collaborating with DHL, which shares our dedication to delivering top-tier services and solutions, we also take a significant step forward in achieving operational independence and strategic divestment,” commented Cathy Stephenson, Managing Director, Wärtsilä Water & Waste.
Moreover, the partnership is designed to offer greater flexibility in Wärtsilä Water & Waste’s supply chain operations.
