GXO Logistics has announced that it will manage Carrefour’s logistics operations in Getafe (Madrid) and Málaga. Under the agreement, the provider will now manage a total of seven logistics sites for Carrefour in Spain, including the first Carrefour site dedicated to e-commerce in all controlled-temperature products under the Salvesen brand.
The agreement to manage logistics at the two additional Carrefour sites strengthens GXO’s presence across Spain. Including nearly 20,000 sq m and more than 38,000 sq m of space in Getafe and Málaga, respectively, GXO now manages a total of 270 000 sq m of space for Carrefour and will retain the company’s workforce at both sites. These sites were recently renovated with tech solutions designed to meet Carrefour’s needs. GXO said it already provides automated solutions and robotics at its other Carrefour-dedicated sites, including a robotic arm that doubles throughput for case sortation and picking and visual scanning technology able to increase barcode scanning productivity and accuracy.
Rui Marques, Managing Director, GXO Iberia, commented: “The integration of Carrefour’s logistics will allow us to reinforce our commitment to continuous improvement, increase our presence throughout the country, where we already manage 46 logistics facilities.”
