GARLAND LOGISTICS RENEWS WITH ECCO

Garland Logistics has renewed its contract with ECCO, thus extending a trusting partnership that has begun six years ago. The Portuguese company handles about three million pairs of ECCO footwear per year, which corresponds to 15% of the annual sales of the Danish multinational.

The Portuguese factory of the world leading brand in the manufacture and marketing of footwear with technology of direct injection, in São João de Ver, is one of the few in the Group that delivers logistics operations to an outside specialized company, in this case, Garland.

ECCO is on the podium of the three largest customers of Garland Logistics - a company from the Portuguese Group over 243 years old -, occupying about 40% of the warehouse of the Maia II Logistics Center.

Apart from Portugal, where it has been present since 1984, ECCO has more five factories: in China, Indonesia, Slovakia, Thailand and Vietnam.

Garland ensures the entire ECCO Portugal Outbound Logistics process. Each year, it receives around 32,000 footwear pallets from the factory located in São João de Ver. The shoes are stored and subject to unitary control through barcodes, with the aim of ensuring total order reliability, in addition to several value-added services, such as labeling customizations, being then shipped in their totality to stores around the world.

ECCO sells its products in its own stores (2,250) and shop-in-shops in over 14,000 points of sale in 99 countries. In 2018, it reached 1.31 billion euros in sales and 201 million euros in profits before taxes. Its leading position implies very high standards for the level of logistics service provided, which gives Garland the need to allocate dedicated resources and ongoing communication and teamwork with the customer in order to ensure the necessary logistics performances for your business.

One has to mention that Garland Logistics has a strong orientation towards the fashion sector, namely in the textile, footwear and accessories sectors, having last year handled around 9.5 million pieces of clothing, 220 thousand of which were hung, and around 3 million pairs of footwear, in its 80,000 m2 of logistics centers located throughout the country, from Cascais (Abóboda), Mealhada, Aveiro, Vila Nova de Gaia and Maia.
