Nestle and XPO


As announced in June last year, Nestlé and XPO Logistics have inaugurated their “digital distribution warehouse of the future.” The companies started to work on the project in 2018, in cooperation with technology partner Swisslog Logistics Automation.

 

According to XPO, the 195,000 sqm facility at the Segro East Midlands Gateway in Leicestershire will handle goods produced by eleven Nestlé UK manufacturing sites alongside those imported from several markets worldwide.

 

The site will also manage e-commerce fulfilment for the Nespresso brand, a retail solution for Nespresso Boutique stores, and value-added co-packing for a range of Nestlé food products. Moreover, Nestlé will be dispatching exports and deliveries into the London area via rail.

 

The new distribution centre is located in the Sergo East Midlands Gateway Logistics Park with access to the M1 motorway and East Midlands Airport, as well as the onsite rail freight terminal that connects with the major UK ports of Southampton, Felixstowe, and London Gateway, and the Channel Tunnel.
