DSV has become a world-leading provider and manager of supply chain solutions , and sees reverse logistics as a strategic area for growth . To complement its reverse logistics offering in the technology sector , the company has entered into a strategic alliance with Hong Kong-based company , Spread Logistics .

Working closely together , the two companies now pick up faulty consumer electronics at origin , do failure analyses and – if need be – return them to the original manufacturer in mainland China . “ The customer gains visibility of all return materials in the supply chain and can make data-based decisions on the reuse , repair , disposal or even redesign of its products ,” it says .
