iiyama, one of the world’s leading international display solutions manufacturers, has awarded GEODIS Netherlands with a third multi-year contract, fortifying the longstanding collaboration between both companies. This agreement further cements the partnership that started in 2018, with GEODIS serving as iiyama’s global distribution center. Over the last five years, GEODIS has managed iiyama’s B2B distribution needs from single-piece orders to full truckloads.

iiyama is projecting consistent year-on-year growth in the upcoming period. GEODIS Netherlands will implement several key optimizations.

Additionally, the integration of state-of-the-art warehousing and transport management solutions will facilitate smooth communication, reduce lead times, and enhance system compatibility. “These innovations are designed to elevate service levels and operational efficiency”, says Henk Gerards, Director Operations Contract Logistics GEODIS Benelux. He continues: “This new multiyear contract underscores the mutual trust and strategic alignment between GEODIS & iiyama.”

“Sustainability is a top priority for both organizations.
