Yusen Logistics equips state-of-the-art UK distribution center with Manhattan Active® Warehouse Management

Manhattan Associates Inc (NASDAQ: MANH) announces that Yusen Logistics Co. Ltd, one of the largest global supply chain and logistics companies, is implementing Manhattan Active® Warehouse Management at its new state-of-the-art distribution center in the United Kingdom. The opening of the Northampton facility, expected in January 2026, underscores Yusen Logistics' commitment to improving performance and efficiency using advanced distribution technology.

Yusen Logistics, founded in 1955, is part of the Japan-based Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha Group, also known as NYK. One of the world's oldest and largest shipping companies, Yusen offers ocean and air freight forwarding, warehousing, distribution services and supply chain management from more than 650 locations with nearly 3.4 million square meters of warehouse space in 46 countries. "Our new 110,600-plus square foot location in the Midlands will be highly complex and use the latest automation technology," explained Ludovic Facompre, IT Director at Yusen Logistics.

"After a successful two-decade partnership, it made sense for us to run this state-of-the-art facility on Manhattan Active Warehouse Management, the industry's most advanced and robust warehouse management system (WMS)."

"As a cloud-native solution built exclusively on API microservices, Manhattan Active Warehouse Management is unique in the field of WMS. Its scalability, agility and continuous innovation cycles are a perfect fit for the dynamic and broad challenges presented by automation, fulfillment, labor management and yard operations in the new distribution center," Facompre said.

"The implementation of Manhattan Active Warehouse Management is an important first step toward a unified supply chain experience that ultimately brings together warehouse, transportation, yard and labor management. Working closely with Yusen and its partners, our team will be involved in all aspects of the project, from design and go-live to aftercare," said Craig Summers, vice president, Northern Europe at Manhattan Associates.
