IMPERIAL Logistics International subsidiary, Panopa Logistik has been appointed to manage the spare parts logistics for the Compactum Equipment Division of the Ammann Group, worldwide. Amman is one of Switzerland’s leading construction machinery manufacturers.

Panopa’s initial responsibility has been to centralise Amman’s spare parts logistics, consolidating existing sites down from five to one. “The Panopa Logistics Centre in Dortmund is now the location for central supply to Ammann branches, dealers and building contractors, globally,” says Dr. Andreas Hucht, contract logistics division manager at Panopa.

Previously, the spare parts logistics for the compaction machinery of the Swiss construction equipment producer was divided between two locations in Germany and one site each in the Czech Republic, Italy and Switzerland. “To date, we have successfully completed consolidation of the five sites,” he says.
