Buxton, a manufacturer of personal leather goods, has awarded a two-year contract renewal to Weber Distribution, a third-party logistics provider (3PL). Weber will handle the storage, pick & pack and distribution of Buxton's product line to retailers throughout the United States, such as JCPenney and Nordstrom.
Under the renewed contract, Weber will perform a variety of 3PL-related services for Buxton, including order processing, label generation, inventory control and routing guide compliance, as well as value-added services such as re-work with ticketing and sub-styling. Buxton's product line includes a variety of brands, including Buxton, Dopp, Wenger and several private label programs for major retailers. Their wallets, travel kits, belts, business accessories, computer cases, totes and other personal accessories are all manufactured in China and are stored and distributed at Weber's 303,000 square foot facility in Fontana, Calif. According to Kendall Walsh, Buxton's supply chain director, the company renewed its contract with Weber because of past experience.
