Company information
Wincanton is a European leader in the design, implementation and management of advanced supply chain solutions. We manage contracts on an international, regional, national and local basis and transport goods by road, rail, barge, sea and air.
Our ambition for Wincanton is to be recognised as the first choice for supply chain solutions across Europe. Our reputation as a leader in the supply chain industry is underpinned by the desire to deliver value to our key stakeholder groups of customers, employees and shareholders. We do this by understanding the needs of these groups, investing in our brand and implementing a range of innovative initiatives across the Group.
Our customers rely on us to deliver advanced solutions at every stage of the supply chain. We manage change and risk by leveraging our capabilities in technology, resources and people management. Whether we are importing manufacturing components, supplying finished goods directly to consumers’ homes or managing reverse logistics, we deliver competitive advantage through consistently high service levels and a focus on cost efficiency.
Contracts range from the management of single sites and simple product flows through to complex supply chain solutions. We also offer specialist services outside of the core supply chain management activities, such as commercial vehicle solutions, document and media records management and supply chain consultancy.
Wincanton benefits from a diverse portfolio of international blue-chip customers, and enjoys long-standing relationships with many of Europe’s major retailers and manufacturers. We have established leading positions in markets such as food retail, FMCG, general retail, automotive, energy, industrial, construction, chemicals, defence and aerospace.
