GXO Extends Partnership with Avon
22 Noviembre 2023 - 6:00AM
GXO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE: GXO), the world’s largest pure-play
contract logistics provider, announced today that it is extending
its agreement with health and beauty industry leader Avon. GXO has
supported Avon’s operations for 15 years.
“We are delighted to extend our longstanding partnership with
Avon,” said Jean Luc Bessade, GXO Managing Director, Poland, Czech
Republic and Romania. “Across our operations, we are proud to
support Avon’s evolving needs, including helping them adapt to new
regulations in their markets and providing co-packing and
value-added services. Through our high-quality service and our open
communications and cooperation, we’ve been able to grow our
business with Avon over many years. We very much look forward to
expanding and continuously enhancing our partnership.”
GXO manages a site in Garwolin that supports Avon’s largest
factory in Europe with distribution operations for the company’s
products to over 50 countries in Europe, Africa and Asia. GXO’s
services include warehousing, value-added services and
manufacturing support. GXO has dedicated 2,000 square meters to
value-added services such as gift wrapping and personalized holiday
messaging on decorative cards that give end consumers a customized
unboxing experience.
The Garwolin facility also enables GXO to support Avon’s
omnichannel activities. We provide a wide range of high-quality
copacking services, including specialist labeling and QR codes, and
each year, our highly skilled team co-packs thousands of different
promotional sets, including bags, trays and gift boxes for
occasions such as Easter, Advent and Christmas.
GXO also helps Avon meet legal requirements and label products
for regulatory changes applicable across various markets, and our
WMS solutions optimize efficiency and productivity. GXO also
provides shared warehousing solutions for Avon and its suppliers
that offer immediate access to high-quality space and fuel growth
while minimizing operating costs in other markets across
Europe.
Andrew Wills, Senior Manager Logistics, Avon said, “GXO has been
an outstanding partner since 2008, helping us pursue our mission to
create a better world for women by supporting their
entrepreneurship, courage and ideas for success. GXO’s value-added
services have helped cement the partnership between our companies.
GXO has also helped us meet our ESG goals. We’re looking forward to
GXO’s ongoing help in realizing the full potential of our
logistics.”
GXO, in partnership with Avon, pursues ambitious environmental
goals at its Garwolin site. The facility has been ISO 9001
certified since 2010 and ISO 14001 certified since 2014. It reduces
the amount of waste generated by reusing materials (e.g.,
cardboard) by recycling about 97% of packaging waste paper and 90%
of plastic film and by using electronic records to decrease the
amount of printed documentation. The site also uses LED lighting to
reduce energy use, and by optimizing forklift movements, it has
reduced the number of battery charges necessary and therefore the
amount of energy consumed by the charging stations.
GXO also is committed to supporting the communities where its
team members live and work. Earlier this year, for example, GXO
co-partnered the “Avon Against Violence — Run in Garwolin,” which
is a part of Avon Against Violence campaign. More than 70 GXO
employees participated in the run held in June.
Globally, GXO handles more than 1 billion beauty products each
year and operates more than 40 sites that are dedicated to
providing logistics solutions for the luxury brands of top
companies in the beauty and wellness industry. GXO optimizes supply
chains, using its industry-leading technology, scale and expertise
to improve the flow of goods and deliver a best-in-class consumer
experience for ecommerce fulfilment, omnichannel distribution and
reverse logistics.

brings additional value added capabilities, including high-touch
customer care, secure payments and fraud protection and distributed
order orchestration systems.
