Expansion into Portugal
Putting the Logic into Spare Part Logistics Rico Logistics has now grown to become perhaps the most comprehensive Spare Part Logistics provider in the UK and Ireland. As part of our ongoing strategy of expansion across Western Europe we have now invested heavily by entering the Spanish market. Rico Spain was launched in January 2007, and already has three Global IT support companies providing National Spare Part Logistics services across Spain. Now sited at 70 Spanish locations, across the mainland and the Canary and Balearic Islands, with plans to expand into Portugual in January 2009.
With nationwide expansion throughout the year, and complete support from our base in the UK, we now service such blue-chip clients as Wincor Nixdorf and HP. Rico has developed an unrivalled technology platform which interfaces into clients systems such as SAP or other WMS systems to manage the whole SPL process and to provide real time messaging back to and from the clients systems. Added to a countrywide network of facilities and total logistics support services designed specifically for the SPL sector.
