We have expanded our partnership with Stanley Black & Decker
We have successfully launched a new integrated logistics solution for Stanley Black & Decker (SBD) at our new Jinshan facility in Shanghai, China, marking a significant milestone in both companies’ ongoing collaboration. The new setup consolidates four previously separate warehouse operations into a single, streamlined site, enhancing efficiency and reducing operational complexity.
Comprehensive Services Across SBD Brands
We now support warehousing services for all the SBD brands in China, including STANLEY, DeWalt, BLACK & DECKER, IRWIN, LENOX, FACOM, Proto, BOSTITCH and MTD. Services include inbound and outbound logistics, inventory management, and value-added services such as kitting, bundling and labeling. The site handles a wide range of items, including hand tools, power tools, accessories (e.g., saw blades), and after-sales service parts.
“The successful launch of our integrated logistics solution in Jinshan reflects the strength of our global collaboration with Stanley Black & Decker,” says Li Zhang, Head of China at Arvato. “By consolidating operations and leveraging technology-driven processes, we’re delivering greater efficiency, visibility, and scalability to support SBD’s long-term growth in China and across the Asia-Pacific region.”
The consolidation supports SBD’s broader supply chain strategy by replacing the previous operation mode with a centralized, system-driven solution. Our robust warehouse management system significantly reduces manual workload and enhances visibility and control.
Sustainability and Innovation
The Jinshan facility, which has just recently been opened to enhance Arvato’s footprint in China and improve services for Arvato’s global clients, is located in a modern logistics park and offers seamless transportation and distribution efficiency. Equipped with LED lighting, solar panels, EV charging stations, and an energy-efficient LED lighting throughout the warehouse, Arvato also reinforces its commitment to sustainable operations.
Further improvements are already planned with the introduction of a vehicle arrival appointment program, AGVs (automated guided vehicles) for transferring the consumables and a setup of a new conveyer for VAS assembly to improve the operational efficiency.
