Reliable Logistics for a Global Household Chemicals Manufacturer
Company description
Leading brand of household chemicals
We’d love to reveal the brand, but for safety reasons, our client preferred to stay behind the scenes. So here’s the story of the case itself — the challenges, solutions, and results that truly speak for themselves.
Back in 2009, one of the leading household chemicals brands made a strategic decision to entrust its logistics processes to Ekol Logistics — and since then, the cooperation has continued uninterrupted. The international manufacturer of cleaning and hygiene products and Ekol Logistics have built a partnership based not only on service, but also on trust, mutual understanding, and long-term stability. In Ukraine, one of the world’s most recognized household chemicals producers is represented by a number of brands. Over the years, logistics has become a key link ensuring the steady presence of these brands on the Ukrainian market — from warehousing services to the import of goods into the country.
Individual Approach
The Challenge
The initial request of the international corporation in the home care sector was to ensure effective warehouse logistics — a key requirement for its sustainable growth in Ukraine. Over time, the scope expanded: domestic deliveries across all regions, including remote areas, and eventually international shipments requiring coordination, consistency, and unified service standards.
Key challenges included:
- Building warehouse operations that scale with business growth
- Organizing flexible, responsive nationwide distribution
- Integrating international logistics from European hubs to Ukraine
- Maintaining consistently high service levels
- Ensuring end-to-end supply chain visibility
- Driving continuous optimization across all logistics processes
Business Goals
Purpose
A company with many years of history in the household chemicals industry was looking for more than just a service provider — they needed a logistics partner who understands expectations, responds to change, and puts the customer first.
For Ekol, this meant:
- Designing a warehouse model capable of flexible scaling
- Guaranteeing reliable, on-time deliveries throughout Ukraine
- Establishing seamless international transport from Europe
- Achieving full integration across all logistics systems
- Meeting global SC Johnson quality standards at every stage
Individual Approach
Solutions
Our partnership began with warehouse logistics — and to this day, it remains the foundation of our operations. Over time, the model expanded and evolved into a full-service logistics solution.
Our key solutions included:
- An optimized storage system that adapts to the portfolio of a global home care company
- Fast, prioritized order fulfillment based on FEFO/FIFO principles and client needs
- A hybrid delivery model (FTL/LTL) for optimal coverage across Ukraine
- Transparent, traceable cargo handling at every step
- Coordinated international transport from EU hubs to Ukraine with top-tier service
- Digital tools for real-time tracking, inventory control, and planning
Cooperation between the two companies has always been designed not “for the situation,” but with regard to the rhythm and traditions of the market leader in home care products — a company that values consistency, precision, and deep partnership.
Successful Cooperation
Result
Over the years, we’ve built a robust end-to-end logistics model — from European warehouses to retail shelves in Ukraine.
The global leader in household chemicals production received:
- A dependable, transparent warehouse infrastructure
- Systematic, timely, and well-managed transportation
- Fully integrated international logistics within a single flow
- Ongoing cost-reduction and efficiency initiatives improving the bottom line

- Stability in a changing market — thanks to a partnership that has stood the test of time
Together, we’ve grown, adapted, and evolved.
Each new request from the international manufacturer of household products became a catalyst for us to do better.
This is more than logistics. It’s trust — proven over time.
