The agreement builds on a long‑standing global relationship between GXO and L’Oréal, spanning more than 15 years in the United States and Mexico. Drawing on a proven track record of success, GXO was selected to support L’Oréal’s strategic decision to outsource its logistics operations in Europe, helping secure the resources needed for an agile, resilient and future‑ready supply chain.
“With more than 15 years of successful partnership with L’Oréal globally, we are incredibly proud to have been selected as their trusted partner to manage their logistics operations in Europe,” said Paul Mohan, President of Continental Europe, GXO. “This agreement builds on our long-standing relationship in North America and underscores our shared commitment to delivering long-term value.

The facility will provide omnichannel distribution, primarily for retail operations, while also supporting e‑commerce flows. It is expected to go live mid-2027 and will be developed in line with BREEAM Excellent sustainability standards.
The operation will handle a broad portfolio of L’Oréal products, including luxury, dermo‑cosmetic, professional and consumer goods, drawing on GXO’s expertise in managing complex, high‑value beauty supply chains.
