HeidelbergCement announces Axians as Preferred Supplier

VAS becomes an integral part of the ”LEO” Project

The IT-Logistic Solution VAS® of Axians becomes an integral part of the „Logistic Efficiency Optimization“ Initiative (”LEO”) of the HeidelbergCement AG.

Within this project an integrated material-flow management will be introduced that will lead to a considerable cost reduction in the fields of Logistics for the corporate group. Globally several plants in the business lines of cement, aggregates (sand & gravel) as well as concrete will be equipped with the IT solution VAS® from Axians. The implementation of VAS® will lead to a significant optimization for the dispatch and the related logistical processes, as the increased level of automation will result in a much faster execution of many activities within the plants. In this context Axians has also been announced as a ”Preferred Supplier” by HeidelbergCement AG. ”Due to the large international experience as a hardware independent IT-specialist in the industrial environment and the flexibility in creating an interface to SAP, Axians reflects an ideal partner for us in the fields of IT-Logistics.” as Ms Tanja Hofmann, Group Pur-chasing at HeidelbergCement AG describes the key reasons for this decision. „The an-nouncement of receiving the status ”Preferred Supplier” reflects a high level of trust, that has grown within our long lasting partnership. HeidelbergCement is a global player and belongs to the industry-leading companies in its field.” as Mr Marc Graner, Managing Director of Axians Industrial Applications and Services further comments.

Currently four German cement plants of the HeidelbergCement group run the IT-Logistic solution VAS®. The solution will now be further implemented in the remaining German plants whereas at the same time both sides will work on the international roll-out. Heidel-bergCement is the global market leader for aggregates and also ranges in top positions for cement, concrete and further activities as one of the largest building material manu-facturers worldwide. The company employs around 53.000 members of staff at 2.500 locations in more than 40 countries.
