GXO Expands Logistics Partnership with Castore to Support Global Growth

GXO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE: GXO), the world’s largest pure-play contract logistics provider, has expanded its partnership with performance sportswear brand Castore, extending its warehousing and transportation services to the UK, US, and Europe.

Delivering Teamwear to World-Class Athletes and Teams

GXO has been working with Castore in the UK since April 2024, providing logistics support for distributing teamwear and merchandise to high-profile sports teams and individual athletes. Among the beneficiaries of this logistics partnership are Oracle Red Bull Racing, McLaren F1, Everton FC, Glasgow Rangers, England Cricket teams, and Olympic silver medalist Adam Peaty.

Following the successful UK launch, Castore is broadening its collaboration with GXO to enhance logistics operations in the Netherlands, with further plans to expand into the U.S.

Comprehensive Logistics Services for Castore’s Growth

GXO’s role extends beyond teamwear distribution. The logistics provider also supports wholesale customers selling Castore’s branded merchandise and sportswear while overseeing retail distribution to more than 20 Castore stores across Europe and fulfilling global e-commerce orders.

Additionally, GXO provides returns processing, courier management, and personalization services to streamline operations and enhance Castore’s supply chain efficiency.

Strengthening a Strategic Partnership

Richard Cawston, Chief Revenue Officer at GXO, highlighted the strength of the partnership:

“It is fantastic to partner with a like-minded and fast-growing brand. We’re proud that Castore recognized our expertise in fashion and sportswear, trusting their logistics to us. Our flexible systems have already improved efficiencies, and our transport capabilities enable seamless fulfillment. It’s brilliant that our success in the UK has allowed us to expand our partnership and support Castore’s global growth.”

Adrian Harris, Chief Supply Chain Officer at Castore, emphasized the importance of working with the right logistics partner:

“As Castore continues its fast-paced growth, we want to ensure we work with partners to support and strengthen our ambitions to be one of the world’s highest performance sportswear brands. We’re confident that GXO is the right logistics partner to manage our operations in the UK and across our global network with an experienced team and world-class systems.”

Innovative Logistics Solutions

GXO and Castore successfully implemented a dedicated warehouse management system in just eight weeks, demonstrating their ability to rapidly scale logistics solutions. GXO provides both warehousing and managed transport solutions, ensuring a smooth flow of products from storage to final delivery. By integrating both elements of the supply chain, the partnership enhances efficiency and minimizes disruption risks.

Future Expansion Plans

With GXO’s courier management team now overseeing parcel delivery in the UK & Ireland, Castore can focus on designing and producing high-performance sportswear while GXO ensures efficient distribution. As the partnership grows, GXO’s global network will play a key role in supporting Castore’s continued expansion into new markets.

This strategic collaboration reflects GXO’s commitment to leveraging advanced supply chain solutions to help brands like Castore scale efficiently and deliver high-quality products worldwide.
