ITG and Mimaki extend cooperation

ITG will continue to be responsible for the European central warehouse for the customer Mimaki, a Japanese manufacturer of large format printers, and for the provision of forwarding services over the next three years. With the growth of the business the logistics service provider is planning to move into a new logistics facility in the Amsterdam area in July 2017.

ITG Global Logistics B.V. and Mimaki Europe B.V. will extend their existing cooperation for further three years. To this end, the leading manufacturer of large-format ink jet printers and cutting plotters signed a corresponding agreement with the Dutch subsidiary of the Germany based logistics provider. Mimaki Europe B.V., located in Amsterdam, is responsible for sales, marketing, logistics, administration and technical support through sales-partners and dealers for the EMEA region. „We are proud to provide Mimaki with logistics services also in the future, says Rob Spaans, managing director of ITG Netherlands.

The Japanese company employs globally 1.400 people and achieved in 2015 sales of about 366 million Euros. Since 2014 ITG is operating in Amsterdam the logistics center for Mimaki Europe. In addition to classic logistics services such as goods receiving, storage, pick & pack, additional value added services are provided. ITG also handles parts of the distribution for the customer.

Approximately 20.000 orders are processed for this customer per year - and the trend is increasing since further growth is forecast for digital printing in the coming years. Currently a new logistics facility with 10,000 m² is developed for ITG in the Amsterdam area, into which the logistics service provider is expected to relocate in July 2017. The new location offers excellent connections for sea, air and road transport. The facility itself is built under strict sustainability criteria and is expandable with a second construction phase, which allows ITG additional capacities, also for other customers.
