GXO Logistics will operate a new distribution centre for Action in Ferentino, Italy, supporting the retailer’s expansion across Central and Southern Italy.
The facility, located in the province of Frosinone, is Action’s second distribution centre in Italy. GXO was selected based on its retail logistics expertise, direct labour model and established presence in the Lazio region.
GXO currently employs more than 200 people at the site. The workforce is expected to grow to 300 employees at full capacity and up to 350 during peak seasons.
“GXO is extremely proud to support Action in this new phase of growth in Italy,” said Alessandro Renzo, Managing Director of GXO in Italy and Switzerland.
The Ferentino project extends GXO’s long-standing partnership with Action, which already operates in other European markets.
The new distribution centre also features a strong sustainability profile. The facility has achieved BREEAM Outstanding certification, the highest rating under the environmental standard.
The site operates without gas and includes photovoltaic panels, LED lighting, smart energy monitoring systems and electric vehicle charging stations.
“Ferentino offers us a great central location for the distribution of Action’s growing store network in the centre and south of Italy,” said Jens Burgers, Director of Supply Chain at Action.
Action said the facility was designed to support environmentally friendly operations while improving supply chain efficiency as the retailer continues to expand its Italian store network.
