Mountney are a leader in the manufacture and distribution of motoring parts and accessories.
Established 36 years ago in the UK, they now own three main brands in the automotive marketplace; Summit, Gmax and Mountney Classic. They also supply an extensive range of other manufacturers’ products for distribution.
We have been working with Mountney on their supply chain for nearly 10 years. WTA assumes responsibility for Mountney’s entire import portfolio, moving roughly 50 containers a year into Europe from China and Taiwan on FOB incoterms.
The complexity when handling Mountney’s supply chain comes from two separate aspects:
After 10 years, we aren’t resting on our laurels.
Our recently launched WTA Platform is set to transform the communication between Mountney and our Customer Service Manger even further.
The tool will provide them with real-time insight on the location, arrival/departure times and documentation related to their freight. It also gives them a perfect record of each shipment and an instant message line of communication with Evan.
Over time, the cost and time data accrued on every container will reveal priceless insight into their supply chain. Allowing us to work with them to find further optimisations. Meanwhile our ISO compliant CO2 tracker will mean Mountney can keep their environmental impact under constant review and work to minimise carbon impact.
Our team continually keep Mountney updated on logistics through our industry insights.
Mountney receive weekly supply chain Market Updates, keeping them informed on logistics news so they are always informed on international trade.
They also receive our detailed industry whitepapers and PDF guides, which feature in-depth analysis on supply chain and international trade talking points.
Recent insights include cost optimisation guidance, incoterm analysis and exploring new free trade deals.
