Event logistics for LG Electronics
For some years now, CDS has offered active support to the electronics manufacturer LG at various exhibitions, among them the annual ElectronicPartner Fair in Düsseldorf, the Expert Spring Conference in Hanover and the Euronics Congress in Leipzig. Prior to the start of the event, the East-Westphalian service provider ensures the on-time delivery of the devices right to the exhibition stand as well as their assembly and equipping. In order to guarantee the smooth running of the event, CDS experts are available at all times during the event to answer any technical questions.
After the successful conclusion of the event, CDS will handle the dismantling and return of the hardware. In doing so, all packaging materials that have already been used for the delivery and that have been safely stored after delivery of the equipment are used. Once returned to CDS, the products are being inspected, cleaned and stored properly and safely until their next use by experienced technicians.
Exhibition support for Makita Werkzeug GmbH
The first cooperation with the tool manufacturer Makita Werkzeug GmbH took place in 2018 - as part of a two-week nationwide roadshow. CDS supported the company with logistics and transport for this event, which was simultaneously taking place in three regions. The aim was to deliver tools from the entire product portfolio as well as various exhibition equipment to the respective locations on time and to collect them again after the end of the event.
In addition, the fleet had to fulfill special requirements for this project: On the one hand, the total weight to be transported posed a challenge; on the other hand, both the towing truck and trailers had to be equipped with a hydraulic lifting platform to ensure fast loading and unloading.
At that time, CDS sent three complete truck-trains, each weighing about 9 tons of payload, on a two-week journey. Thanks to the professional preparatory work and competent execution of the assignment, the roadshow went smoothly and to the complete satisfaction of our partner Makita Werkzeug GmbH. Thus, the first conjoint collaboration directly led to follow-up orders for the years 2019 and 2020.
