Menlo, which has six multi-client facilities in the country, will provide warehousing and inventory management services for product distributed by William Grant & Sons. The scope of the relationship includes import container clearance, customs permit declaration, container trucking, product unloading and put-away, storage of dutiable cargoes and point-of-sale material, bond-to-bond transfer of cargoes, re-export shipments and delivery of cargoes to port. Menlo also provides value-added services to the customer, including labeling and repacking.
"We needed a partner in Singapore that was not only well-established in the region but that also had experience serving the needs of the wine and spirits industry," said Ken Goh, branch manager, JF Hillebrand Singapore. "Because we've worked with Menlo for a number of years, we knew they were an outstanding logistics services provider with customs expertise and a number of locations in Singapore. All these capabilities were critical to helping us hit the ground running with our customer. Bringing Menlo into the solution with William Grant & Sons made perfect business sense, and we look forward to working together with success."
