KWE and Siemens Healthineers strengthen global supply chain partnership
Kintetsu World Express, Inc. (KWE), plans to strengthen its European operations by expanding their partnership with Siemens Healthcare Ltd. Magnet Technology. This is aimed at enhancing procurement joint efficiencies and optimizing global supply chain operations. This collaboration focuses on expanding sourcing activities from Asian countries for Siemens Healthcare Ltd. Magnet Technology while also supporting KWE’s broader international business development.
Through this partnership, Siemens Healthcare Ltd. Magnet Technology will leverage KWE’s global logistics network and expertise to facilitate procurement from suppliers in Asia. The initiative includes the shipment of high-tech medical device components with an estimated volume of 200 to 300 units of containers annually destined for the UK market.
KWE will play a key role in supplier engagement and quality assurance, working closely with Siemens Healthcare Ltd. Magnet Technology’s Strategic Procurement teams to prepare for the first shipment scheduled for December.
KWE plans to strengthen its European operations, particularly its UK branch, and enhance its support infrastructure in Asia. To accommodate long-term shipping projects for Siemens Healthcare Ltd. Magnet Technology, KWE is also coordinating with their suppliers to establish robust ocean freight capabilities.
In addition, KWE has proposed regular joint business review meetings with Siemens Healthcare Ltd. Magnet Technology to ensure continuous alignment and deepen collaboration.
