Insights
GXO's new partnership with Sky Italia strengthens its technology sector presence and adds high-value service operations to its Italian business.
GXO has secured a multi-year agreement with Sky Italia to manage their supply chain operations from GXO's 30,000 square meter warehouse in Colleferro, Italy. The partnership involves storing and managing Sky's business core products (decoders and routers), Glass smart TVs, and brand merchandising across 7,000 square meters dedicated to over 1 million Sky products.
This deal represents a strategic expansion for GXO in the technology sector, building on their existing relationship with Sky in the UK and Ireland. The multi-user warehouse setup provides Sky with scalability during peak periods – a critical capability in consumer electronics logistics where seasonal demand fluctuations can be significant.
What's particularly valuable about this agreement is GXO's involvement in value-added services, including quality control of both hardware and software. The dedicated testing stations GXO has established for Sky products represent higher-margin service operations that extend beyond basic warehousing and distribution.
Sky Italia specifically cited GXO's innovation focus and direct staffing model as key decision factors. This direct employment approach typically results in better workforce stability and quality control compared to temporary staffing models – especially important for handling high-value electronics requiring technical handling.
The Colleferro facility, which GXO has operated since 2010, features enhanced security measures appropriate for high-value inventory and incorporates environmentally-friendly elements like LED lighting and battery-powered equipment. This sustainability focus complements Sky's own environmental initiatives, evidenced by the repair and refurbishment program that has already processed 43,000 televisions through their UK partnership.

GXO has set up computer stations in the warehouse dedicated to the customer where the products are tested and their operation verified before they are shipped to the final customer.
“We chose GXO for its focus on innovation and continuous improvement,” said Luigi Manzoli Supply Chain Director of Sky. “We were looking for a site that was central to the Italian perimeter and scalable and the Colleferro site proved to be perfect for our needs.
