Elanders is expanding its fashion and lifestyle fulfilment brand in the UK with a 48,000sqft facility in North Tyneside
The Bergen Logistics brand will expand its presence across the UK, EU and US, providing fulfilment services to the fashion and lifestyle sectors, to include clothing, footwear, handbags, accessories and cosmetics, home goods, medical devices and supplements.
The new facility will be located very close to the Elanders UK headquarters, in North Tyneside.
Elanders group is a global partner for integrated supply chain solutions with over 90 operations across four continents, providing solutions for complex supply chains. It also provides services such as print and packaging resources. The Bergen Logistics expansion in the UK is set to create up to 60 jobs and Kevin Rogers, managing director for Elanders in the UK, said it will complement the Elanders offering in North Tyneside, which has a combined headcount of around 200 staff.
“We are very excited to work with our colleagues at Bergen Logistics to expand our fashion and lifestyle business in the UK. North Tyneside has been a fantastic location for us for more than 20 years and this is a great place to serve our Bergen Logistics customers. It is also home to a highly skilled and dedicated workforce, one of the key reasons Elanders continues to invest in the region. By continuing to invest in the region we are in the wonderful position of being able to offer high quality, sustainable jobs while, at the same time, future-proofing our legacy. It is an exciting time to be part of Elanders UK and the arrival of Bergen Logistics is further evidence of our wider ambitions.”
