JAKOBSTAD, Finland (BRAIN) — Finnish component producer Herrmans is opening a warehouse in Shanghai, China, to serve its China-based OEM customers. The warehouse will be operational with stock in May.
"With the warehouse we will reduce the lead time so we can reach the entire Chinese coastline within two days. We will start filling the warehouse as soon as we receive the forecasts from the OEMs," said sales director Ronny Höglund.
The bonded warehouse will serve all Chinese OEMs who export. The 3,000 square meter warehouse is 5 kilometers from the WGQ seaport. The range in stock depends on customer demands and their forecasts, but will consist of grips, lights, reflectors and rim tape. Operations (ordering and invoicing) will be handled by Herrman's headquarters in Jakobstad, Finland.
