Founded in 2015, Au Vodka has rapidly established itself in the alcoholic beverage market. As the brand seeks to accelerate its growth both in the UK and internationally, it has strategically partnered with Kammac, a third-party logistics company, to enhance its logistics operations.
This dynamic flavoured vodka brand has experienced astonishing growth, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 457% over the past two financial years. Recently, Au Vodka has successfully expanded its presence into eight states across the US.
Kammac will oversee a comprehensive range of logistics operations for Au Vodka. This partnership involves managing the transportation and storage of Au Vodka’s diverse product lineup, which includes flavoured vodkas, premixed cocktails, and slushies. Furthermore, the logistics company will handle full loads and UPN pallet network loads, while also managing B2B deliveries directly to retailers.
Chris Polding, Au Vodka’s COO, emphasized the importance of this collaboration: “As Au Vodka continues to expand at a rapid pace, Kammac’s logistical expertise and ability to scale with our operations are crucial. Their support will be instrumental in maintaining our growth momentum and achieving our objectives.”
Kammac’s operations for Au Vodka will extend across two key facilities. At the Manchester 208 site, Kammac manages 44 SKUs, with a storage capacity of 3,958 pallets that is anticipated to exceed 5,000 pallets. The company is expected to handle an average of five containers per week at this site.
Meanwhile, at the Skelmersdale M58 365 site, Kammac oversees approximately 60 SKUs with 675 racking spaces available. At these facilities, Kammac will ensure the efficient storage and distribution of Au Vodka’s products across the UK and international markets.
Ged Carabini, Kammac CEO, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership: “We are delighted to partner with the UK’s number-one premium vodka brand and support its continued growth. With a 35-year track record in managing complex logistics for a range of drinks clients, our expertise is second to none.
“We look forward to driving their continued success, ensuring their logistics operations are as on-brand as their premium spirits.”
