UPS to handle logistics for Manheim auto auctions
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Manheim, an automobile auction company, has hired UPS to oversee moving millions of used vehicles to the wholesale market annually.
Manheim has asked UPS to make its logistics and supply chain operations more efficient.
UPS will be in charge of transporting vehicles between Manheim's 77 locations in the United States and its clients, including dealerships, auto manufacturers, car rental companies and financial institutions.
UPS anticipates it will take 18- to 24-months to transition all of Manheim's operating locations to UPS's services.
"Manheim will be able to leverage UPS's logistics expertise, vast carrier base and global transportation network to provide significant value for its customers," said Wayne Cabeza, director of UPS's Automotive Industry Solutions Group.
Manheim is owned by Atlanta-based Cox Enterprises Inc., whose holdings include The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. UPS is headquartered in Sandy Springs.
