‘We are very proud of this new strategic partnership with Hisense, a company that shares our values of innovation and excellence,” said Rui Marques, Managing Director of GXO in Spain and Portugal. “Our ability to address supply chain challenges such as peak demand, as well as operate an environmentally sustainable facility, are key to enabling increased customer satisfaction for Hisense.”

The facility is strategically located, with access to the Mediterranean corridor and a harbor, with capacity to distribute more than 700,000 units per year, strengthening GXO’s footprint in the Mediterranean area. Thanks to GXO’s expertise, the rapid implementation and peak fulfillment were conducted in parallel at the new site.

This operation is also expected to implement proven technology solutions deployed in similar GXO operations, demonstrating GXO’s unique role as a benchmark technology partner.

“This agreement represents a significant advancement of our supply chain and reinforces our commitment to excellence. With GXO’s experience in large-scale global projects and its knowledge of the industry in Spain, we are confident that we will continue improving our productivity and fulfill our mission of providing accessible innovative technology to everyone to help enhance their quality of life. Having a trusted partner to manage our logistics operations with efficiency and accuracy is vital for us,” said Indalecio López, Service and Logistics Director, Hisense Iberia.
