UNILEVER PICKS EXEL TO INTEGRATE BRANDS IN UNITED STATES
Unilever Bestfoods, part of Unilever PLC, a maker of consumer goods in foods, household and personal care, has chosen Exel, a logistics provider based in the United Kingdom, to manage the integration of Bestfoods into the foods division of Unilever PLC.
To accommodate the contracted work, Exel is expanding its warehousing and distribution management operations at facilities in Middletown, Pa., and Atlanta.
In a separate development, Exel said Monday it had renewed its warehousing and distribution contract in Turkey with Reckitt Benckiser, a consumer goods manufacturer. Under the agreement, Exel will acquire a facility at Gebze, on the Asian side of Istanbul.
