Team 3 Logistics to support Southeast auto sector

Team 3 Logistics to support Southeast auto sector    Kenco Logistics Services, through its subsidiary Kal-Serv, has formed a joint venture with Schnellecke of America, called Team 3 Logistics, to provide logistics services to support automotive production in the U.S. Southeast.
   Schnellecke, based in Wolfsburg, Germany, is an established logistics services provider to automakers in Europe, China, Russia, Brazil, Mexico and South Africa. The company had sought a partner to serve the U.S. market, particularly in the U.S. Southeast.
   'Once we got to know Kenco, they were the logical choice for the creation of Team 3,' said Nikolaus Kulps, chief executive officer of Schnellecke Group, in a statement.
   Kenco, based in Chattanooga, Tenn., has a large warehousing presence in the Southeast. Team 3 will use Kenco's infrastructure, which includes more than 100 buildings totaling 25 million square feet. About 45 percent of the distribution space managed by Kenco Logistic Services is located in the Southeast with 4.7 million square feet and 22 buildings in Chattanooga.
