Thiel FashionLifestyle has been named the leading Fashion Logistics Provider in Europe. The Global Institute of Logistics has named Thiel as its choice for "Best European Fashion Logistics Provider 2005".
(PRWEB) February 16, 2005 -- Following a detailed research and selection process into leading providers of supply chain and third party logistics services in Europe Thiel has emerged as the benchmark for services in the fashion logistics sector.
Lead analyst at the Institute Siobhan Kelly in her capacity as team leader of the Institutes G50 programme said in support of today's announcement of Thiel fashionlifestyle as "Best European Fashion Logistics Provider 2005":
"The research department examined the European fashion logistics sector and established its choice of the leading 3PLs. The outcome of the study then saw one company being selected as the choice of the Awards Committee of the Institute as the leading European fashion logistics provide.
These awards are to honor those 3PLs that have helped clients save money and sell more. It is on that pragmatic basis that award-winners can be regarded as the best in the business.
On conclusion of its research on the European fashion logistics market and following careful analysis of the quality and value provided by the principal logistics service providers this sector Thiel FashionLifestyle emerged as the unanimous choice of the Awards Committee for best European Fashion Logistics Provider. Their clients speak of a company that is customer focused, easy to work with and sensitive to the client needs. They are considered a high quality and full service operator."
Commenting on the award Kieran Ring CEO of the Institute said "The extraordinary understanding which the Thiel team of logisticians brings to the fashion and textile logistics sector is evident in their ability to negotiate the challenging supply chain metrics between Asia and Europe.
Working with organizations from both Eastern and Western Business systems, Thiel demonstrate a unique ability to marry these two diverse cultures together, complete with their diverging characteristics, into one supply chain."
Mr. Ring continued "Thiel, combining the relatively disorganized production & logistics techniques of the manufacturer on one side, with the slick just-in-time demands of the cloths retailer on the other, demonstrates an incomparable ability on behalf of the organization in the world of fashion logistics.
Thiel are truly 'globalization in action' bringing the cost efficiencies of mass manufacturing in the East to bear on the high value retail sector in the West and thereby ensuring that we as consumers, get to enjoy unrivalled efficiencies in the purchase of up to date apparel.
