Leroy Merlin, the market-leader in specialist home improvement and do-it-yourself products, and CEVA Logistics, one of the world’s leading supply chain companies, have announced a four-year agreement for the in-house warehouse management and distribution of Leroy Merlin products throughout Italy.   Leroy Merlin has selected CEVA to manage its new warehouse at Castel San Giovanni (PC) in northern Italy and to handle the distribution of its wide range products, from doors and lighting to synthetic grass. 150 employees will operate from the site to ensure the timely restocking of 48 stores across Italy as well as 20 others located in Greece, Cyprus and Romania. At 92,000 square meters, the warehouse is divided into two key areas: a dedicated cross-docking activities zone and an e-commerce fulfillment center. From the Castel San Giovanni warehouse, 25,000 journeys will be required annually to service the Leroy Merlin business and approximately 40% of them will utilize intermodal transport services (Rubber-Iron-Rubber) - designed to reduce emissions of particulates and CO2.
