Vantec Europe Ltd, which is a major employer across Sunderland, has rebranded as it looks to strengthen global opportunities for the business and its team.
The company is now officially called LOGISTEED UK Limited, combining the word logistics with exceed, proceed, succeed and speed.
The business operates three facilities in Washington, two with the distinctive signage that can be seen by thousands of cars making their way along the A1231 Sunderland Highway, and Northbound on the A19.
The rebrand marks the organisation’s transition into the international LOGISTEED Group, which operates across 122 companies, 1,003 sites and 30 countries and regions, reinforcing the UK’s role within a major global logistics operation.
Martin Kendall, managing director, at LOGISTEED UK, said: “We’re delighted to now be LOGISTEED UK Limited. The change represents an important transition in the business, as we firmly establish ourselves as part of a global group that will open up exciting new opportunities for our business and for our colleagues.
“It’s incredible to think that a business that started out operating from a competitors facility as a logistics supplier to Nissan in the early days of its life here in Sunderland is now part of a global group, creating hundreds of jobs in Sunderland and across the UK, supporting blue-chip clients in automotive, premium automotive, construction, electric battery, offshore renewable energy, HVAC, commercial lighting and fashion sectors
“The business has come so far, and this marks a bold new chapter for us – one filled with opportunity, innovation and global ambition.”
