NYK Logistics Renews Contract with Yamaha

NYK Logistics (UK) has renewed its contract with Yamaha Music (UK) for the operation of the latter’s National Distribution Center, handling musical instruments and audio visual equipment.

The former is responsible for the dispatch of the latter’s full range of instruments, ranging from piccolos to high-value grand pianos, as well as specialist equipment such as Public Address (PA) systems and mixing desks.

NYK plays a key role in managing Yamaha’s storage and distribution requirements by providing a flexible service. Orders are received by Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) with small items dispatched by a nominated parcel carrier.

Dedicated vehicles deliver upright and grand pianos, which are transported on protective shoes then re-assembled at dealers by highly trained delivery crews. NYK reworks various mass-market products and handles promotions and exhibitions, as well as direct deliveries to schools across the UK.
