Lindex director of logistics Johan Engen said: “We have high demands on our future omnichannel warehouse, which will replace our current warehouse in Partille and our e-commerce warehouse in Borås, where we are approaching our maximum capacity. With our new facility in Alingsås, we will initially be able to quadruple the capacity for our e-commerce and ensure a scalable and sustainable logistics solution for all sales channels.
“The initial capacity for the e-commerce will be approximately 13.000 picked and packed garments per production hour. In line with our sustainability ambitions, we have high environmental requirements for our warehouse with the goal of achieving the environmental certification BREEAM-SE Excellent. Our facility will also be powered by electricity from solar panels, which will enable delivery of electricity to both our own operations and to other.”
The Sweden-based fashion company has around 440 stores in 18 markets and sales online worldwide through third-party partnerships.
It provides womenswear, kidswear, lingerie and cosmetics.
