Since our first container was delivered on 4 July 2019, APL Logistics has been running HEMA’s Far East inbound supply chain – keeping shelves stocked on time.
Thousands of kilometres of ocean and road separate a factory floor in Asia from a HEMA store shelf in the Netherlands. APL Logistics manages the chain before a single shipment leaves port – fewer containers, better filled, moving faster.
Congratulations, HEMA – on 100 years of love for everyday life.
A century of serving the Netherlands, across generations. We’re proud to have kept the supply chain running behind it.
BY THE NUMBERS
▪ 100 years of HEMA serving everyday life in the Netherlands
▪ 46 years of APL Logistics supply chain expertise globally
▪ 7 years running HEMA’s Far East inbound supply chain
Those seven years include blank sailings, port congestion, and Red Sea rerouting that tested every Asia-Europe lane. HEMA’s replenishment kept running.
HOW IT WORKS
Order management at origin
Before a single product leaves the factory, APL Logistics is already managing HEMA’s Far East order flow — coordinating space, carriers and bookings, as well as measuring vendor performance to keep shipments on track.
Disruption managed before it reaches HEMA
Port congestion, vessel delays, and capacity constraints are managed in real time to minimise the impact on HEMA’s DC inbound.
