WALTHAM, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–May. 31, 2012– ModusLink Global Solutions™, Inc. (NASDAQ:MLNK), a global leader in supply chain management, has extended the capacity at its Brno, Czech Republic Solution center, one of ModusLink’s five operational sites in Europe. The 32,000 square meter production hall enables ModusLink to provide value-added warehousing, distribution, multichannel fulfilment, returns management and other critical supply chain capabilities to global technology, communications, consumer packaged goods and medical device companies. The Brno Solution Center was established in 2005 and is enabled with a wide range of value-added services, including digital content management, media replication, on-device printing and multiple packaging options. It operates as a strategically located distribution center to more than 120 countries, a returns center to support customer needs, and has recently been positioned as a shared-services hub for ModusLink’s European operations offering centralized supply chain planning and financial management processes. John Heffernan, general manager for ModusLink in Brno believes the expansion, driven by new client wins, is a testimony to the strategic value of ModusLink’s services and the position that Central and Eastern Europe plays in today’s global supply chains. “We offer an alternative integrated services model that can be less costly than a pure South East Asia manufacturing solution. When supplemented by efficiencies gained with lean sigma processes, logistics and packaging optimization, we are able to help clients achieve up to a double digit cost and inventory saving. We are excited to be able to offer this solution to more clients with the expanded facility.” Bill McLennan, ModusLink’s president of global operations, underscores the strategic value of operations in Central and Eastern Europe for clients in a variety of industries. “As clients in the high-tech, communications and medical device verticals need to become more demand-driven, the capabilities offered by ModusLink here in Brno become a critical tool in leveraging the low-cost manufacturing footprint of South East Asia, while maintaining the flexibility to meet local customer needs throughout Europe. Our global footprint and reliable, flexible infrastructure are key reasons why the world’s leading companies outsource their supply chain management challenges to us.” About ModusLink Global Solutions ModusLink Global Solutions, Inc. designs and executes global supply chain and e-Business strategies that drive revenue growth, reduce cost and enhance the customer brand experience for the world’s leading companies.
