GXO Logistics, Inc. announced the renewal and expansion of its long-standing partnership with Electro Dépôt. Under the renewed agreement, GXO will continue to support Electro Dépôt?s growth strategy in France through an expanded logistics footprint, combining the extension of the existing Fos-sur-Mer site with the launch of a new distribution facility in Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône, dedicated to small domestic appliances. As part of the partnership extension, the Fos-sur-Mer distribution center has been expanded to 55,000 square meters, while a new 24,000-square-meter facility in Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône will further strengthen Electro Dépôt?s supply chain capabilities. Both sites are located within the industrial zone of the Port of Marseille-Fos, a key logistics hub providing efficient access to southern France as well as Spain.
This strategic positioning enables faster deliveries, increased flexibility and improved service levels for Electro Dépôt?s retail network. In line with GXO?s focus on innovation, both sites will benefit from the deployment of advanced automation and digital solutions, including inventory drones and robotic unloading systems. These technologies are designed to enhance operational efficiency, improve inventory accuracy and reduce physical strain for employees, while supporting scalable and resilient logistics operations. Sustainability is a core pillar of the partnership extension.
The new Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône site is equipped with photovoltaic panels, while the Fos-sur-Mer facility will benefit from solar rooftop installations and photovoltaic canopies, including electric vehicle charging stations. These initiatives are contributing to reducing the environmental footprint of logistics operations and support GXO?s broader ESG objectives.
