The Logistics World Alliance (LWA), launched in Paris recently, unites five of Europe's major logistics service providers to offer integrated approaches to international supply chain. The alliance members are: Azkar (Spain & Portugal), Bartolini (Italy), Bibby Distribution (UK), MGF Logistique (France) and the Rhenus Group (German). Between them, the alliance members have nearly 25,000 employees, 10,000 vehicles, 500 sites in Europe and Asia, access to more than 2.5 million square metres of storage space and total annual sale of euro 2.4 billion. Geographically, the focus is on Europe but for intercontinental supply chain, the Alliance will work with partners in Asia. Thus, the cooperation partners include, among others, the Seaways Group (India), the Shibusawa Warehouse Company (Japan), the UVK Co (Ukraine) and the Avaion Group (Russia).
