AU VODKA PARTNERS WITH KAMMAC TO RAISE THE BAR ON LOGISTICS

Leading third-party logistics provider Kammac, has announced a new partnership with the UK’s number one ultra-premium vodka brand, Au Vodka, to support the company’s ambitious expansion both domestically and internationally.

Au Vodka, known for its premium flavoured vodkas, has seen remarkable success since its founding in 2015, growing annually at over 457%! Driven by a surge in consumer interest in premium spirits during the Covid-19 pandemic and its recent entry into eight U.S states, has seen Au Vodka earn the top spot in the prestigious ‘For Entrepreneurs, By Entrepreneurs’ (FEBE) Growth 100 list.

Such significant progress has seen Au Vodka outgrow its warehouse in Swansea, with the business recognising a need for more scalable storage and distribution solutions. Following a review of third-party logistics providers, the brand chose Kammac as its first industry partner, a decision driven by Kammac’s flexibility in working with scaling brands, and the strong rapport established between the two companies.

Through this partnership, Kammac is overseeing a comprehensive range of logistics operations for Au Vodka, managing the transportation and storage of its diverse lineup of flavoured vodkas, premixed cocktails, and slushies. This includes handling full-loads and UPN pallet network loads, as well as managing B2B deliveries directly to retailers.

The operations span across two of Kammac’s key facilities. At the Manchester 208 site, Kammac manages 44 SKUs with a current storage capacity of 3,958 pallets, which is projected to exceed 5,000 pallets, and handle an average of five containers per week. Meanwhile, at the Skelmersdale M58 365 site, the company oversees approximately 60 SKUs with 675 racking spaces, ensuring efficient storage and distribution of Au Vodka’s products across the UK and internationally.

“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,” said Chris Polding, Chief Operating Officer at Au Vodka.

As a member of the Elanders Group, Kammac is well-positioned to leverage its extensive network to support Au Vodka’s global logistics needs effectively, including its entry into the U.S. and other global markets.

Ged Carabini, CEO at Kammac, said, “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.”
