Having served this company for a number of years, providing distribution services for spare parts to a manufacturing facility in Asia across multiple suppliers in the UK, Horizon International were approached to support a significant expansion in volumes required for a new model launch in Asia.
The customer had taken the decision to flex its manufacturing capabilities in the UK whilst enhancing its capability closer to the local market. As such this would improve initial speed to market and ensure availability at launch.
