Iceland and XPO logistics has agreed for a five-year warehousing and distribution deal , as the frozen food retailer looks to continue growing its store network in the UK.
The supermarket currently has 850 stores and a burgeoning network of new 'out-of-town' Food Warehouse outlets, and XPO says it has developed a supply chain solution that combines the retailer's dedicated network with the its own shared-user facilities.
XPO Logistics, Inc. is a US corporation and a provider of supply chain services in 32 countries. The company has annual revenue of approximately $15 billion, with more than 1,450 locations and a workforce of over 84,000 employees
XPO will manage Iceland's distribution centres in Warrington, Enfield, Livingston and Swindon, with responsibilities including warehousing activities ranging from product receipt to nationwide store distribution, as well as a number of primary collections.
Iceland's temperature-controlled fleet of 320 tractor units and 450 trailers will also be overseen by XPO in a move that is expected to create further operational efficiencies for the retailer by implementing an integrated inbound supply chain platform.
In 2015 XPO acquired Norbert Dentressangle, a logistics business that had a significant presence in the UK grocery and general merchandise retail sectors.
