Aldo Group has extended its logistics partnership with Bleckmann for another five years, securing the agreement until July 2031.
The Canadian footwear and accessories brand has worked with Bleckmann since 2016, with the logistics provider handling its warehousing, transport, freight and customs operations across Europe and other international markets.
Under the renewed agreement, Bleckmann will continue to oversee Aldo’s European logistics operations from its distribution centre in Enschede, the Netherlands, which processes around 3.2 million items annually.
The facility serves several key European markets, including Germany, France, Poland and Portugal, alongside the UK and destinations such as Morocco, Egypt, Turkey and Cyprus.
The two businesses said the extension reflected their ‘long-standing relationship and continued focus on improving operational efficiency and reducing costs’.
Bleckmann cluster manager for Enschede Rick Wijnberg said the partnership had been built on mutual trust and close collaboration, with both businesses working together to improve efficiency and achieve cost savings.
Aldo Group vice-president of international distribution Daniel Goulet said: “With this extension, we are emphasising our confidence in our strong partnership and wish to continue our operations on the same footing.”
Bleckmann is continuing to expand its presence in the UK fashion logistics market.
Last month, H&M Group appointed the business as its third-party logistics provider to support its UK expansion, with operations based at Bleckmann’s Crick distribution centre in Northamptonshire.
It has also secured partnerships with footwear brands Nuoceans and Capezio this year, supporting their warehousing and distribution operations.
Aldo Group, which operates more than 1,500 stores across over 100 countries under its Aldo and Call It Spring brands, also has licensing partnerships with fashion and accessories labels including Ted Baker, Hunter and G.H.BASS.
