GXO Logistics has signed a multi-year agreement with L’Oréal to support its logistics operations in Central Europe.
The partnership covers Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary. It will support L’Oréal’s growth in both retail and e-commerce channels.
The agreement builds on a global relationship between the two companies that spans more than 15 years in the United States and Mexico.
As part of the deal, GXO will develop and operate a new 20,000-square-metre logistics facility in Lavičky, near Brno in Czechia.
The site will employ around 80 people and serve nine countries across the region.
GXO expects the facility to begin operations in mid-2027.
The warehouse will provide omnichannel distribution services. It will primarily support retail operations while also handling e-commerce volumes.
The facility will be developed in line with BREEAM Excellent sustainability standards.
GXO will manage a wide range of L’Oréal products, including luxury, dermo-cosmetic, professional and consumer beauty brands.
Paul Mohan, President of Continental Europe at GXO, said the agreement strengthens a long-standing partnership and will help L’Oréal build a more agile and resilient supply chain.
Jean-Luc Bessade, Managing Director for Central Europe at GXO, said the company will deliver a tailored logistics solution to support L’Oréal’s expansion plans across the region.
Miroslav Macíček, Operations Director for L’Oréal Czechia, Hungary and Slovakia, said the company selected GXO for its logistics expertise, technology capabilities and experience in the beauty sector.
He added that the new logistics hub will help improve customer experience and support future growth.
