Tibbett Logistics extends operations at Europolis Park in Romania with new five-year contract

Romanian contract logistics specialist Tibbett Logistics, part of the fast-growing UK-based Keswick Enterprises group, has signed a new five-year contract to extend operations at the Europolis Park to the west of Bucharest.

Tibbett Logistics has operated from a facility at Europolis Park since 2008 and has now contracted operations there until mid-2016. The site comprises 22,000 sqm of warehousing, with over 30,000 racked pallet positions and space for cross-docking operations handling up to an additional 40,000 cases a day.

Tibbett Logistics currently employs approximately 140 people at Europolis Park, where it serves one of Romania’s largest retail chains. The facility handles the delivery of over 1,400 pallets a day of imported products to 25 retail locations across Romania, plus 10,000 items of dry food and other FMCG merchandise daily – both held in stock and cross-docked.

Europolis Park complements Tibbett Logistics’ other multi-temperature food distribution, multi-user warehousing and automotive warehousing operations in Bucharest, as well as its warehousing operations in Hunedoara County and Timisoara. Tibbett Logistics also operates an intermodal road-rail terminal linking Bucharest with Constanta, and runs a nationwide transport operation with a fleet of over 200 trucks.

Tibbett Logistics offers comprehensive logistics services to the automotive, textiles, retail and other FMCG sectors throughout Romania and beyond. The business was rebranded as Tibbett Logistics in May 2011 following Keswick Enterprises’ acquisition of both Delamode Logistics and Delamode’s joint venture with DHL – DHL Delamode – in Romania. Tibbett Logistics now manages some 100,000 sqm of warehousing in the country.
