FIEGE handles logistics for William Grant & Sons

The FIEGE Group has acquired a renowned new customer from the spirits industry in William Grant & Sons Deutschland, the distiller of a range of selected spirits such as Glenfiddich, Balvenie, Hendrick’s or Tullamore DEW. Since the beginning of the year, FIEGE has been overseeing their Germany-wide logistics, including warehousing at the excise warehouse, many value-added services such as the set-up of displays, and the distribution across the whole of Germany. The Greven contract logistics specialist will handle operations at its location in Bocholt which forms part of FIEGE’s dedicated FMCG hub which is located between the Münsterland and Lower Rhine regions.

Satkin Nikouee-Fard, Head of Supply Chain at William Grant & Sons Deutschland, says: “Over the past five years, ever since we established our German sales operations, we have made a name for ourselves as an agile and innovative player in the national spirits market. To be prepared for future challenges and respond even faster to dynamic market conditions, we are now levelling up our supply chain with this next step. By partnering with FIEGE, we are working with a reliable ally who understands the demands of the FMCG sector and is able to provide optimum support across all distribution channels.” 

William Grant & Sons was established in Scotland in 1887 and remains an independent, family-owned distiller to this day. Their portfolio includes some of the world’s leading brands. David Bothe, Managing Director Consumer Goods at FIEGE, says: “We are very pleased about the trust that our customer extended to us right from the start. With our future-focused logistics solutions, we aim to back the sales strategy and further growth of William Grant & Sons as best as possible. For this, our years of experience within the FMCG and spirits sector as well as B2B and eCommerce will prove to be a decisive advantage."
