In Automotive industry, every minute counts. Efficient logistics directly impact production stability, product quality, and overall costs. Modern distribution concepts such as cross-docking and direct deliveries optimise processes and strengthen supply chain reliability. Automotive Painting Partners successfully applies these principles through its Logistics Centre in Zvěřínek, which ensures smooth component transfers to OEM partners.
Automotive Painting Partners (APP) provides end-to-end services in mechanical engineering – from welding and surface treatments to the final delivery of parts and subassemblies to the end customer. All operations are seamlessly interconnected, giving clients everything under one roof. This results in fewer transfers between suppliers, reduced logistics costs, faster production flow, fewer errors, and more agile responses to changing requirements.
Cross-dock: Speed Instead of Storage
Cross-docking minimises storage time for the client and significantly shortens lead times. From the production plants in Nymburk and Police nad Metují, components are sent to the APP Logistics Center in Zvěřínek, where they are prepared and consolidated into shipments for specific OEM partners. Thanks to smart organisation and digitally managed shipment flows, delivery times are reduced, and the risk of delays is minimised.
Direct Deliveries to OEM Partners: Less Handling, More Certainty
Direct delivery to the end customer eliminates unnecessary steps that could otherwise cause delays or errors. Parts are packaged to meet the specific requirements of each manufacturer, while shipment consolidation ensures efficient transport planning. The result is greater reliability and full transparency throughout the entire process.
Zvěřínek Logistics Centre – the Heart of APP Distribution
The Zvěřínek facility serves as the company’s central logistics hub, equipped with state-of-the-art material handling systems and advanced shipment tracking technology. Its strategic location near major transport routes makes it an ideal base for coordinating deliveries not only within the Czech Republic but also across international markets. For customers, this translates into several clear benefits:
- cost savings through the elimination of excessive storage,
- shorter lead times and greater reliability,
- reduced risks associated with transport and handling,
- support for sustainable logistics through optimized transport routes.
