GXO Logistics, Inc., the world’s largest pure-play contract logistics provider, today announced the successful launch of its new partnership with Hunkemöller, one of Europe’s leading lingerie brands. GXO took over control of Hunkemöller’s logistics operations in Almere on January 1, 2026. This is the first time in the company’s history that Hunkemöller is outsourcing its B2B logistics.
“We are proud to accompany Hunkemöller on this important next step in their omni-channel growth journey,” said Willem Veekens, Managing Director North Europe at GXO. “By integrating B2B and e-commerce into an efficient, technological process, we are already achieving noticeable efficiency gains while improving service levels for stores and customers across Europe. This partnership strengthens our regional presence and shows that GXO is able to support leading retailers with scalable, future-proof logistics solutions.”
The 32,000 square meter location in Almere has the latest technology. This includes a shuttle system for storage and replenishment as well as a robot-assisted shelf-to-person picking solution, which increases productivity and optimizes goods flows. The collaboration as part of a multi-year partnership supports Hunkemöller’s pan-European distribution network and at the same time contributes to the further development of the growing GXO campus in Flevoland.
“Outsourcing our B2B logistics for the first time is a significant milestone for Hunkemöller,” said Nick Gresham, Chief Financial Officer of Hunkemöller. “GXO’s expertise in advanced warehousing processes and multichannel fulfillment allows us to scale our growth more efficiently while ensuring our high level of service across Europe. The partnership means we can focus even more on the development, creation and expansion of our brand, as we can rely on a reliable logistics partner to support our growth.”
