Valora achieves further milestone in its "Valora 4 Success" strategy 
programme - Logistics project on track - New processes and modern 
technology pave way for greater efficiency and higher quality levels
Logistics project on track
One element of the "Valora 4 Success" strategy programme launched in 
the autumn of 2008 on which the Group has been working intensively in
recent months is enhancing the efficiency of its logistics 
operations. The drive to optimise Valora´s logistics involves 
relocating logistics operations from Muttenz to Egerkingen, 
introducing a new logistics operating system and a number of 
additional adjustments to press handling procedures. The 
transformation of Valora´s logistics functions remains on track and 
will be completed on schedule in late 2009.
New processes and modern technology pave the way for greater 
efficiency and higher quality levels
Following the smooth introduction of the new logistics system 
(WAMAS), which was completed for beverage products in early June 
2009, optimisation tests for press products logistics have now also 
been successfully completed. Using new processes and "pick by light" 
technology, Valora will in future use a decentralised approach for 
picking, sorting and packing the press products it delivers, rather 
than the centralised production line used in Muttenz hitherto. "This 
new approach will cut press product throughput times by half", says 
Stefan Gächter, head of Valora´s logistics operations, "That means 
greater flexibility for deliveries and higher quality levels for our 
customers and publishing partners." The new approach will bring about
a fundamental improvement in the way press product picking, sorting 
and packing is carried out, thus raising both quality and efficiency 
levels.
The switch to the new methodology will affect 15 full-time jobs, of 
which five are accounted for through early retirements. "Together 
with the union Syna we have developed a plan to assist those 
concerned by these changes", says Thomas Vollmoeller, Valora´s CEO.
