Tires
Tire demand can be volatile; consumers expect rapid product availability while Auto-Mobility providers need to minimize inventory. We assist by providing raw material inbound solutions, finished product distribution centers, flexible deliveries, and customized tire warehouse management systems.
At DHL, we understand that specific needs require specialized knowledge and solutions that are right for the customer. We invest in developing innovative expertise and systems to ensure maximum flexibility and technical advantages such as smart containers. Tire manufacturers are now less reliant on wholesalers and with the support of logistics can establish direct-to-market channels. This means true local, global, and sustainable end-to-end solutions, providing OEM manufacturing support from tire logistics specialists.
