Logistics for James Bond
As has only just been reported, contract logistics provider Fiege Austria took over the business activities of AV Logistic Center, a former subsidiary of AV Holding Beteiligungsgesellschaft, at the beginning of the year. AV Logistic Center’s customers included companies such as the traditional Viennese publisher Piatnik and the Swiss watch manufacturer Breitling, well known for producing James Bond’s famous Top Time watch.
Michael Jahn, managing director of Fiege Austria, explained: "Since we are close neighbours in Vienna, we have developed an amicable relationship and have worked together cooperatively over the past years."
All employees were taken over. Fiege has transferred the operational business, including fixed assets such as a high-bay warehouse, to the multi-user centre on its adjacent site in Vienna. AV Logistic’s business will continue under the existing brand for the time being. (sh)
