DB Schenker Camira Fabrics

Facing significant challenges with transatlantic deliveries and the need to uphold its reputation for delivery reliability, Camira Fabrics, a leading UK textile manufacturer, has signed a contract with DB Schenker to enhance its airfreight logistics operations. The contract, which commenced this summer, has allowed Camira to streamline its supply chain, maintain delivery speed, and capitalise on new business opportunities.

Camira Fabrics, headquartered in Yorkshire, produces upholstery and panel textiles for diverse sectors, including commercial, education, healthcare, hospitality, and passenger transport. With over eight million meters of fabric in transit annually, the company relies on rapid, dependable delivery to meet critical project deadlines.

A strategic review of Camira’s logistics, driven by recent external challenges like Brexit, COVID-19, and rising global costs, revealed potential opportunities to optimise its distribution process. This led to the partnership with DB Schenker, which developed a customised Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to address these challenges.

Jonathan Pemberton, DB Schenker’s Airfreight Business Development Manager, UK & Ireland, highlighted the collaborative approach between the two companies: “Through meticulous planning and a shared vision, we have demonstrated a commitment to innovation and efficiency. This alliance and contract not only streamlines operations but also sets the stage for growth.”

The partnership has delivered significant benefits for Camira, including improved visibility, faster delivery times to the US, and integrated IT support through DB SCHENKER | Connect. These enhancements have enabled Camira to fine-tune its processes, reduce costs, and maintain its reputation for speed and reliability.

Peter McArthur, Camira’s Head of Projects, emphasised the importance of the partnership: “As a UK textile manufacturer with global distribution to around 70 countries, speed and reliability of delivery are paramount. DB Schenker met our service requirements, offering quick, guaranteed lead times and shipment visibility, all vital in the competitive market we operate in.”

This successful collaboration marks the beginning of a long-term relationship, with DB Schenker poised to support Camira’s ongoing global expansion and operational efficiency.
