H&M Group partners with Bleckmann to support UK expansion
H&M Group has confirmed a new partnership with fashion logistics specialist Bleckmann to act as its third‑party logistics provider in the UK. The deal will see Bleckmann install an advanced AutoStore system at its Crick, Northamptonshire warehouse to boost flexibility, capacity and fulfilment efficiency.
The Crick site lies within Bleckmann’s Midlands ‘Golden Triangle’ network, where the logistics provider is making further investment to increase UK capacity. H&M will use the facility to manage logistics for a number of its brands, though the exact portfolio names were not disclosed. Bleckmann already handles logistics for fashion names such as Superdry, Gymshark and Blakely, and added sustainable footwear brand Nuoceans as a client in June. Earlier this year, dancewear brand Capezio also named Bleckmann its third‑party logistics provider for warehousing and distribution.
“essential to meeting the growing demand from existing and new clients,” Reinardt van Oel, chief operations officer for Belgium and the UK said.
“proud to now count H&M Group among our clients,” Reinardt van Oel, chief operations officer for Belgium and the UK said.
