XPO signs France-wide delivery deal

[ November 7, 2023   //   ]

US owned logistics company XPO has signed a partnership with Metro Markets for palletised distribution and last-mile delivery for its new logistics platform for non-food e-commerce at France’s leading foodservice supplier.

Metro Marketplace, which has already been launched in Italy, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and Germany offers a wide range of non-food products for hotels and restaurants and has inaugurated an 18,300sq m warehouse in Roye, 100km north of Paris to accelerate the roll-out across Europe.

The new warehouse handles goods including furniture, small and large appliances, tableware, food preparation, disposable solutions, hygiene and maintenance and office supplies.

One of XPO Logistics’ largest distribution centres in France is located in the same industrial estate as Metro France’s Roye warehouse, with a 7,500sq m, a workforce of 175 employees, including 93 drivers, and a fleet of 127 semi-trailers. Deliveries are possible throughout France within 24 hours.
