GXO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE: GXO) has announced a new strategic partnership with Hisense, a global leader in consumer electronics and home appliances. Under the agreement, GXO will manage logistics operations at Hisense’s new 36,000-square-meter facility located in Albuixech, Valencia.

This partnership enhances GXO's presence in the Mediterranean region, providing Hisense with access to a key location that features direct access to the Mediterranean corridor and a nearby harbor. The facility is capable of handling over 700,000 units per year, marking a significant step in the companies’ collaboration.

The two companies worked quickly to establish operations at the new site, with GXO implementing solutions to improve productivity and inventory accuracy.

In collaboration with Hisense, GXO is also adopting eco-friendly packaging solutions to reduce waste in the logistics process.

Indalecio López, Service and Logistics Director at Hisense Iberia, highlighted the importance of GXO’s logistics experience and knowledge of the Spanish market in supporting Hisense’s mission of providing innovative technology to improve customers' quality of life.
