Gillette takes on outsourcing partner

BATTERIES, TOOTHBRUSHES and oral care appliances are just some of the diverse products that will move through logistics provider Exel's Johannesburg warehouse following the signing of a 3-year contract with Gillette.
Exel will manage all warehousing and distribution of Gillette products in South Africa as well as exports to other African regions including Zimbabwe, Botswana and Mozambique.
In South Africa Exel is a majority shareholder in Widespread Distribution which is working in partnership with the company on this project.
