goods inwards logistics by Volkswagen and a move for the Exel staff working for this business toVolkswagen AG’s new OTC 4 (Original Parts Center 4) in Baunatal, Germany. In the new OTC 4warehouse, Exel, with a team of over 600 employees, will manage VW’s deliveries, bookings,re-packaging and the dispatch of approximately 330,000 original parts for Volkswagen, Audi, SEATand Skoda vehicles from more than 4,000 VW suppliers.
