Optogan's New Recruitment fro Better Operation of Its LED Products

Russian LED company Optogan has recruited logistics service provider Logwin to manage distribution of its products in Europe and Asia.

Their cooperation can date back to the end of 2011. At that time,Optogan has opened a production site in Landshut in Bavaria. Meanwhile, the company commissioned Logwin to manage its global supply chain.

Logistics for Optogan are centred on the Logwin warehouses in Karlsfeld near Munich and Taipei, Taiwan. Each location serves as the distribution centre for its region.

Up to 7,600 pallet storage positions are available in Karlsfeld and in Taipei for the storage of Optogan products on a non-mixed basis.

Besides storage and transportation, Logwin will soon be providing incoming goods checking and quality inspections, the assembly of lighting units and returns processing.

Logwin stores finished and semi-finished goods from Optogan at its location in Karlsfeld, and is responsible for order picking and distribution throughout Europe. The logistics specialist organises the shipment of smaller quantities using CEP services and distributes other consignments via its own networks.

Logwin's second distribution centre in Taipei is responsible for the distribution of LEDs within Asia. At the same time, it is from here that the logistics service provider organises Optogan's entire air freight operations together with its location in Munich. Whether global import and export of finished goods or international shipments with semi-finished goods between Germany, Russia and Taiwan, Logwin organises air freight transportation, arranges insurance and takes care of customs formalities.

It is not just collaboration in logistics that connects Logwin and Optogan. Logwin is now also the lighting manufacturer's customer. A section of the warehouse in Karlsfeld is currently being equipped with LED lighting from Optogan. "We are delighted with this decision," says Markus Zeiler, General Manager at Optogan. "Logwin will benefit from energy savings and the lower maintenance effort involved."
