Arvato opens distribution centre for a big Polish fashion retailer

Arvato SCM Solutions Arvato has launched a new distribution dentre in Stryków, Poland for the Polish fashion retailer LPP, which will significantly accelerate order processing in the area of LPP’s online sales. This investment is consistent with the strategy of further dynamic development of LPP and Arvato in the e-commerce segment.

The new distribution centre dedicated to LPP is located in the Segro Logistics Park in Stryków near Łódź and covers the area of 30 000m² with a possibility of doubling this surface area to a total of 60,000 m² within the next 3 years. Its launch will allow 500 new workplaces to be created in the first year of its operation.

Shipments will be made from the warehouse in Stryków for e-commerce brands, such as Reserved, Mohito, House and Sinsay, to Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Hungary, the Baltic countries as well as to the UK market. The annual volume will be more than ten million shipped product pieces. Owing to the convenient location in central Poland, at the crossing of major motorways, the online order processing time will get significantly shorter, explains Jacek Kujawa, LPP Vice President responsible, among others, for logistics and e-commerce operations.

Arvato SCM Solutions in Poland will be taking care, among others, of the following services: storage, assembly and packing, courier shipment, handling of returns and complaints as well as specialist services (re-packing, labelling, foil replacement, quality control) of such product assortment as: clothing, shoes, bags and accessories.
