Salvador Caetano relies on Kuehne+Nagel’s expertise to strengthen its footprint in Spain
The Portuguese automotive retail operator Salvador Caetano Auto and the logistics provider Kuehne+Nagel signed a collaboration agreement for after-sales logistics. Together, the companies developed a solution for the storage and distribution of spare parts fostering Salvador Caetano’s expansion into the Spanish market. Value added services include a “next day before 10 am” delivery option, enhancing customer experience, a strategic priority for both partners.
The logistics operations are executed from the fulfilment centre of Mejorada del Campo (Madrid). This activity serves a network of 37 repair centres across Spain. Orders are packed in recycled materials such as cardboard, tape, and cushioning items, in alignment with Salvador Caetano’s sustainability objectives.
“One of our pillars is to have an efficient after-sales service which facilitates customer experience, avoiding long lead times thanks to the availability of parts in a location close to all our repair centres,” says Ignacio Román, General Manager of Salvador Caetano Auto. “This agreement with Kuehne+Nagel materialises our strategy, aiming at collaborating with the best partners to offer the best service.”
“We are thrilled to support an automotive industry leader as Salvador Caetano. Our extensive experience in spare part logistics supports the Group to deliver the best experience to their customers”, explains Alvaro Nebreda, Contract Logistics Director of Kuehne+Nagel Spain.
