GXO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE:GXO), the world’s largest pure-play contract logistics provider, today announced it will manage operations at a new distribution center in Ferentino for Action, the fastest growing non-food discounter in Europe. The site, which opened last week in the province of Frosinone, is Action’s second distribution center in Italy.

GXO was selected to support the expansion of Action’s retail network in Central and Southern Italy based on its strong operational capabilities and presence in the Lazio region, which is considered strategic for ensuring operational flexibility, access to qualified talent, and robust warehouse management capacity. In addition, GXO operates a direct labor model and brings deep knowledge of the retail sector.

The Ferentino distribution center is expected to grow steadily in volumes and workforce. Today, GXO manages operations with a workforce of over 200 people, with growth expected to reach 300 at full capacity, peaking at 350 during the high season.
