Distribution partnership extended

XPO will implement a phased strategy to increase growth capacity for the British supermarket chain, with scalable initiatives for technology, labor optimization, fleet optimization and cost savings. The renewal extends XPO’s partnership with Iceland to more than a decade.

XPO’s distribution solution combines six Iceland warehouses with supplemental capacity at XPO shared-user sites, and additional logistics and transport support as needed for peak demand. XPO manages approximately 3,000 colleagues at Iceland distribution centers in Warrington, Deeside, Enfield, Livingston and two in Swindon. The companies co-developed a behavioral safety programme for site colleagues, resulting in consecutive annual improvements in safety performance, including 2020, during COVID-19.
