Supply Chain Company launches offices in Malaga and Leeds

Supply Chain Company has taken a next step in its internationalisation ambitions with the launch of new offices in Spain and the United Kingdom, lifting its footprint to 5 countries.

Since its founding in 2017, Netherlands-based Supply Chain Company has been providing consultancy and implementation services in the supply chain and logistics domain. The company works mainly for customers in retail, agriculture & food, consumer goods, and manufacturing.

With private equity backing, Supply Chain Company aims to grow into an established international player.

After previously expanding into Denmark and New Zealand, new offices have now been opened in Malaga (Spain) and Leeds (United Kingdom).

Henk Jan Rijkse, CEO of Supply Chain Company, said that the expansion into the United Kingdom comes in response to demand from existing clients. “The United Kingdom is an important market for us and we already have a large number of client projects there. Having our own team in the market itself will enable us to provide even better customer service.”

The decision to setup shop in Spain has a different background. The new office in Malaga will play a central role in the firm’s IT offerings. Supply Chain Company is an important implementation partner of well-known tech platforms such as Relex Solutions (a Finnish supplier of supply chain planning solutions) and Optimity (an American supplier of supply chain solutions).

“Malaga is a growing hub for IT services. The city has a good supply of highly skilled IT professionals, thanks to its respected academic and technical education institutions. Many of our technical and configuration activities will be performed in Malaga. In addition, Malaga is our hub for projects on the Iberian Peninsula,” said Rijkse.

The new offices will be led by Helen Traynor (United Kingdom) and Sander Mullink (Spain).

Meanwhile, Rijkse said that the consulting firm is already exploring its next moves. “We want to combine our solid expertise with a closeness to our clients. We intend to open an office in Germany later this year, and we are also investigating the possibilities for the United States.”
