GXO Logistics has extended and expanded its partnership with French retailer Electro Dépôt, adding a 24,000‑square‑meter distribution center in Port‑Saint‑Louis‑du‑Rhéone and enlarging the existing Fos‑sur‑Mer site to 55,000 square meters. Both facilities are outfitted with inventory drones, robotic unloading systems, photovoltaic panels and electric‑vehicle charging stations, underscoring GXO’s commitment to automation and sustainability.
The expansion is designed to support Electro Dépôt’s growth strategy in southern France, enabling faster deliveries and greater flexibility for the retailer’s home‑appliance and consumer‑electronics lines. By deploying advanced technology and green infrastructure, GXO is positioning itself as a leading logistics partner for the technology and consumer‑electronics sector in Europe, potentially increasing revenue streams and reinforcing its competitive moat in the contract‑logistics market.
"This partnership extension with Electro Dépôt illustrates GXO’s ability to act as a long‑term strategic partner for leading retailers, supporting growth through scalable, technology‑enabled logistics hubs," said Vincent Ricci, Managing Director, France, GXO. "By combining operational excellence, advanced technology and a strong people‑first culture, we’re supporting Electro Dépôt’s growth ambitions in France." Samuel Saintenoy, Head of Supply Chain at Electro Dépôt, added, "This partnership extension reflects our long‑standing trust in GXO’s operational expertise and ability to support our growth with reliable, innovative and efficient logistics solutions. The expansion of our logistics network in southern France will strengthen our supply‑chain performance while supporting our ambitions in terms of service quality, innovation and sustainability."
GXO’s Q4 2025 results provide context for the partnership’s significance. The company reported record revenue of $3.5 billion, up 7.9% year‑over‑year, but net income fell to $43 million from $100 million in Q4 2024. Full‑year 2025 revenue reached $13.2 billion, a 12.5% increase, while net income declined to $36 million from $138 million in 2024. Management highlighted that the company is guiding for organic revenue growth of 4‑5% in 2026 and adjusted EBITDA of $930‑$970 million, reflecting confidence in its growth strategy and investment in automation and ESG initiatives.
Electro Dépôt, a French discount retailer specializing in home appliances and consumer electronics, achieved a turnover of €1.5 billion in 2025. The partnership expansion aligns with the retailer’s focus on expanding its footprint in southern France and complements GXO’s broader strategy of operating over 60 warehouses in France and employing nearly 8,700 people. The new facilities will enhance GXO’s capacity to serve Electro Dépôt’s growing customer base while reinforcing GXO’s position as a key logistics partner in the region.
The partnership expansion is a strategic milestone that strengthens GXO’s competitive position in the European contract‑logistics market and supports its long‑term growth objectives. By adding advanced automation and sustainability features to its French network, GXO is better positioned to meet the evolving demands of its retail customers and to capture additional revenue opportunities in the technology and consumer‑electronics sectors.
