Wincanton wins five-year deal with Aggregate Industries

Third-party logistics company Wincanton has won a new, five-year deal with Aggregate Industries (AI) for the distribution of concrete products from a majority of its UK manufacturing sites, it announced on Tuesday.

The London-listed firm described Aggregate Industries as “the foremost” UK brand of construction materials and solutions company, LafargeHolcim.

Under the new agreement, Wincanton would operate a dedicated fleet of specialised vehicles, backed up by its national network, transporting more than 40,000 loads per year from 10 factories to customers across the country.

“Our existing relationship with AI has enabled us to demonstrate our commitment to service excellence,” said Wincanton chief executive officer Adrian Colman.

“This, combined with our track record for delivering an efficient and sustainable specialist vehicle network, and our best in class health and safety record, were all factors in securing this contract.”
