Rhenus Midi Data strengthens logistics partnership with Life Fitness

Life Fitness, the global leader for manufacturing commercial fitness equipment, has now selected Rhenus Midi Data to play an even greater role in its business. The Rhenus company is now operating one of US manufacturer’s European warehouses to serve its customers in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Italy.

Rhenus Midi Data, the technical installation and distribution specialist, has set up a new 6.000 square metre logistics centre in the greater Munich area in Germany. The high-tech specialist will handle the warehousing and spare parts logistics for the wide range of products on behalf of Life Fitness.

The facility operated by Rhenus Midi Data will manage incoming goods, picking operations and dispatch items to Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Italy. Rhenus Midi Data will also manage the transport operations and, if necessary, install the high-value products at their final point of use; the venues range from health clubs to professional sports facilities.

Life Fitness has further streamlined its European logistics operations by selecting Rhenus Midi Data as its logistics partner. Jim Field, Director ISBU Operations at Life Fitness, comments, “I’m impressed by the expertise that Rhenus has shown in launching the project and how smoothly things have gone. Life Fitness and Rhenus are ideal partners to produce and deliver the best possible products for
customers.”
