Percussion Products Company and 3PL Harmonizing Supply Chain Operations.
Nashville, TN, November 01, 2005 --(PR.com)-- Ozburn-Hessey Logistics (OH Logistics www.ohlogistics.com) announced the start of the first phase of a multi-phase implementation for Zildjian, the worldwide manufacturer of premiere cymbals, drumsticks and other percussion products.
Zildjian's products have unique storage requirements, including a temperature controlled environment with strict humidity parameters. OH Logistics will warehouse Zildjian's products in part of its 4 million square foot campus in St. Louis and distribute them to musical instrument retailers throughout North America via LTL and parcel shipments.
"This is the first time we have outsourced any portion of our supply chain process, so it was very important for us to find a company we could trust," said Craigie Zildjian, Chief Executive Officer of Zildjian.
"Zildjian has been distributing its own products for centuries," said Jeff Lanter, Regional Vice President for OH Logistics. "We know the decision to outsource this part of their business was not an easy one and our team takes great pride in this successful implementation."
OH Logistics' Synapse™ warehouse management system is being utilized for the Zildjian account. Phase I of the implementation includes the storage of Zildjian's drumsticks and POS materials; Phase II will incorporate the company's cymbals.
