Spin Master and TDG recently signed a 3 year contract, in which TDG will provide total order fulfilment services for the European retail market from its European Distribution Centre in Wijchen.

Their world class facility and extensive knowledge of European logistics would allow us to enhance our responsiveness and flexibility and shorten our time to market. When you factor in their value added services, including promotions and display building, it was clear that TDG could offer us a comprehensive solution that would meet our needs today, and support our future growth.”
Tijmen Muijs, Managing Director at TDG adds: “We are delighted with the arrival of Spin Master to European Retail Supply Chain concept. The combination of creating synergies, having an agile supply chain, using the right carrier and having short communication lines enables us to give the customer a dedicated solution with a high service level at multi-user-costs.
