GXO Logistics announced the opening of a new distribution center in Mississauga, Ontario, on April 1 2026. The facility is a joint venture with Pandora, the world’s largest jewelry brand, and expands GXO’s North American network while providing Pandora with localized, in‑country fulfillment for its Canadian customers.
The new hub is designed to support Pandora’s accelerating omnichannel growth and to reduce cross‑border complexity. By handling e‑commerce orders in Canada, the center is expected to cut delivery times by up to 50%, bringing shipping windows from 5‑7 days to 2‑4 days. The partnership also helps Pandora mitigate exposure to U.S. tariffs that could impact its operating margin.
GXO has equipped the Mississauga site with advanced technology, including lighted picking systems and video capture at pack‑out. These tools enhance accuracy, throughput, and visibility for high‑value shipments, aligning with GXO’s broader strategy of technology‑enabled logistics and its goal of capturing additional revenue from high‑margin e‑commerce and reverse‑logistics customers.
GXO operates more than 1,000 facilities worldwide. In Q4 2025, the company reported 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 dropped to $36 million from $138 million in 2024. Management has guided 2026 organic revenue growth to 4‑5% and adjusted EBITDA to $930‑$970 million, reflecting confidence in continued expansion and margin improvement.
Pandora’s Canadian operations are a key growth market, with online sales accounting for more than 20% of its Canadian revenue. The brand operates in over 100 countries and maintains approximately 7,000 points of sale worldwide. The Mississauga center allows Pandora to serve Canadian customers faster and more reliably, supporting its long‑term growth strategy and strengthening its global supply chain.
"We are pleased to expand our partnership with Pandora into the Canadian market, further supporting the brand's accelerating omnichannel growth through localized, in‑country fulfillment," said Michael Jacobs, President of GXO’s Americas and Asia Pacific. "By establishing operations closer to the end customer and leveraging advanced technology solutions, we are reducing cross‑border complexity while enabling a faster, more seamless and scalable customer experience." "We delivered record revenue in both the fourth quarter and the full year, with organic growth in every region, affirming the value we are delivering for customers and the resilience of our model. Our fundamentals are strong, and we are taking strategic actions across the organization to accelerate growth and expand margins," added Patrick Kelleher, CEO of GXO. "GXO is a trusted strategic partner, and their technology and operational expertise play a key role in strengthening our North America supply chain. This new site lets us serve our Canadian customers faster and more reliably while building a more agile and resilient supply chain network for the future," said Carsten Olsen, VP of Global Omni Operations at Pandora. "The new distribution centre is an important step forward for Pandora in Canada. It means faster deliveries, more reliable service and a better overall experience for our Canadian customers. The new centre also reflects how we continually optimise our global distribution network to support long‑term growth and strengthen our global supply chain," said Tania Brosseau, VP of Canada at Pandora.
