Kinaxia secures distribution contract with Robinson Young

Bury St Edmunds-based Robinson Young represents brands across a range of sectors including Bodyform, Zoflora, ACE and Simple.

The contract sees Kinaxia collect and store goods and then distribute them to retailers’ warehouses throughout the UK via its national operations, internal K-Link network and other pallet network partners.

Kinaxia board director Barry Germany said: “This is a high-volume contract which we were delighted to win in a competitive tender.

“It’s a perfect fit for our business, given the strength of our regional operational expertise in East Anglia combined with our nationwide footprint.

“Our national capability enables us to deliver an efficient range of full-load, part-load and smaller consignment solutions, all the time prioritising service, quality and sustainable distribution.

“This includes the alignment and integration of IT systems to drive freight visibility, tracking and KPI reporting for Robinson Young.”

Robinson Young chairman Michael Robinson said it was delighted to be working with Kinaxia: “We have been impressed by their facilities, their systems and the service they can provide,” he said.

“The two businesses have many synergies, both being privately owned, with similar cultures, with both of us seeking to achieve the highest possible level of service for our customers. We see many opportunities for both businesses to grow together and expand our working relationship into the future.”
