Nightfreight extends tyre contract

National supply chain specialist Nightfreight has secured a further two year national distribution contract with Europe's largest independent re-treader of truck, industrial and earthmover tyres Vacu-Lug Traction Tyres.

The contract renewal sees Vacu-Lug strengthen its ten-year partnership with Willenhall-based Nightfreight as both a customer and supplier. Under the contract, Nightfreight is charged with the collection and outbound delivery of Vacu-Lug's new retread tyres from its UK plant in Grantham to its nationwide customer base via Nightfreight's network of regional hubs. The 18 vehicle, five day, 24 hour service will also see Nightfreight continue to collect all used tyres from customers such as Royal Mail and return them to Vacu-Lug for recycling. Nightfreight expects to distribute and collect over 300,000 tyres for Vacu-Lug over the next 12 months.
