Think together
Partnership is an over-used word, but it does go some way to describing our customer- focused services. We strive to bring much more to the relationship than simply a means of reaching your customers across the world.
Nothing demonstrates this better than our culture of Soleil and Spitze ; sharing your perspective and your challenges while seeking creative solutions that meet the needs of today and enable the opportunities of tomorrow.

- Cold Chain

- Perishable Commodities

Reverse Logistics
Today’s retail supply chain is more complex than ever. Dealing with damaged and returned goods has become as important as selling the product itself. The returns must be sorted and, if the product can be reused and repacked, sold to a secondary market to recover maximum value. If the returned goods need to be disposed of, you need to find a cost- effective and environmentally-friendly way to do so.
Soleil and Spitze has developed a Reverse Logistics program that manages your product returns and allows you to generate revenue from them while limiting your environmental impact. We provide a complete end-to-end service that offers you a system for managing product returns, including a zero-landfill solution. Our expert management of products’ aftermarket life cycle enables you to capture the maximum recovery value for reused goods and ensures that any recycling is done in an environmentally friendly and responsible way. Services include:
- Consolidation and return to vendor
- Auction/secondary market sales
- Recycling and recovery of used assets
- New asset handling
Multimodal services that optimize transportation, end-to-end
In today’s fiercely competitive environment, retailers, manufacturers and traders are seeking supply chain partners who can provide end-to-end, multimodal services with a single contract and a single point of contact.
Soleil and Spitze has been designing and managing end-to-end services that combine the separate strengths of air, sea, rail, road and inland waterways transportation, with high visibility. Fully integrated to maximize efficiencies, while cutting costs and protecting the natural environment.
Intermodal Services that are fast, efficient, and environment-friendly
Our Intermodal Services specialists design and manage domestic road and rail supply chains, with best practice built in. Solutions that deliver flexibility and reliable lead times, together with a significantly reduced carbon footprint. And we operate cross-border, with all the supporting services you would expect from an industry leader, from customs house brokerage to cross-docking, consolidation, de-consolidation and reverse logistics.
Warehousing
Customized warehousing solutions and strategically sited distribution centre’s boost your productivity and increase flexibility
Whether you are planning to build a comprehensive international supply chain, or simply needing to manage a seasonal inventory upsurge, we can help. We have more than two million square meters of strategically sited storage distribution centres and consolidation centres, designed to support a wide range of different industries.
The value of the service we offer goes beyond inventory management and beyond supply chain visibility. Strategic location means our warehouses and distribution centres are near to major ports or hub operations. They are part of a carefully planned network that can best meet our customers’ cross-border transport needs, their just-in-time manufacturing requirements, their final mile delivery, their after sales logistics or their reverse logistics. We provide bonded and highly specialized warehousing as part of an integrated clean room or temperature controlled supply chain. And, of course, a whole range of value added services for manufacturers and retailers.
