The partnership is aimed at improving the efficiency and accuracy of Hisense’s supply chain operations. According to GXO, the rapid two-month implementation has already shown positive results in terms of productivity and inventory accuracy. However, the company has not provided detailed figures or examples to substantiate these claims.
The location of the facility is highlighted as a strategic advantage, being well-positioned near the Mediterranean corridor and a harbour, offering potential benefits for regional distribution. With the capacity to distribute over 700,000 units annually, the new logistics centre strengthens GXO’s footprint in the Mediterranean region.
Rui Marques, Managing Director of GXO in Spain and Portugal, commented:
“We are very proud of this new strategic partnership with Hisense, a company that shares our values of innovation and excellence. Our ability to address supply chain challenges such as peak demand, as well as operate an environmentally sustainable facility, are key to enabling increased customer satisfaction for Hisense.”
GXO also emphasised its commitment to sustainability, stating that the site uses 100% renewable energy, has installed LED lighting, and recycles 82% of waste generated at its centres. The company has also introduced eco-friendly packaging solutions at the Hisense operation to reduce waste.
Indalecio López, Service and Logistics Director of Hisense Iberia, said:
“This agreement represents a significant advancement of our supply chain and reinforces our commitment to excellence. With GXO’s experience in large-scale global projects and its knowledge of the industry in Spain, we are confident that we will continue improving our productivity and fulfill our mission of providing accessible innovative technology to everyone to help enhance their quality of life.”
