Logistics & Order Fulfilment in Europe

If you’re a UK brand looking to expand your customer-base in the EU, ILG makes it faster, easier and more cost-effective to fulfil your e-commerce orders. Four years on from Brexit, many UK companies still struggle to reach and retain EU customers due to cross-border delays and higher shipping costs.

With ILG you can free-up your EU fulfilment, ease admin and cut duty payments by relocating your stock to one of our fulfilment centres in Poland.

Grow Your EU Customer Base

ILG is helping dozens of UK brands overcome the logistical headaches caused by Brexit, and take full advantage of the huge EU e-commerce market. Alongside our 10 UK facilities, we run two high-spec fulfilment centres in Poland, including a new bespoke and highly sustainable 450,000 sq. ft. unit that opened in 2024.

Stocking in the EU:

“It made total sense for us to set up inside the EU as quickly as possible and fortunately ILG were working hard to get the warehouse in Wroclaw ready…”
Nick Pecorelli, Founder, Little Green Radicals

Your Perfect EU Fulfilment Hub

Strategically located in Western Poland at the heart of the EU, our fulfilment centres are close to the border with Germany (Europe’s biggest e-commerce market), within easy reach of Leipzig (home to many carrier hubs) and near the main rail freight connection to China.

Poland’s labour rates and operating costs are significantly below most other EU countries and with its excellent road infrastructure and highly skilled labour force, it is attracting significant foreign investment and rapidly growing its warehouse capacity.

Our new EU fulfilment centre boasts a huge range of sustainable features designed to reduce the impact of our activity on the environment. From energy-efficient lighting to biodiversity boosting initiatives, the ‘BREEAM Outstanding’ rated facility is set up to reduce carbon emissions by up to 50%.

The 450,000 sq. ft site expands our capabilities to sustainably fulfil from within the EU, removing Brexit-related issues for our customers and easing access to their EU consumers and retailers.

“Following a very aggressive implementation timetable, fulfilment with ILG in Poland went live in June 2022. Despite the demanding timetable, the desire to exceed expectation from the Poland team was tangible, this was evident from my first visit and how immaculate the warehouse had been laid out and pick faces set-up. The team did not disappoint – fulfilment from the first day was within KPI. The opening of the Polish warehouse further cements a 5-year commercial relationship with ILG who now operate two fulfilment centres (in UK and EU) for Buster and Punch.”

Global Head of Supply and Logistic Operations, Buster + Punch

“ILG has been our long-standing 3PL partner in the UK market – sending our products all over Europe for us. When we heard that ILG would open a warehouse in Poland we saw a huge potential to reach our customers even more quickly and efficiently. Usually there are all sorts of operational barriers and challenges to opening an additional warehouse location but ILG’s set up made the process swift and efficient, like an extension of their existing service and functionality. With the new location operating through the same management and customer service team we were already used to in the UK we felt supported all the way through, and it’s been a very smooth experience!”

General Manager Europe, Malin and Goetz

“Availability is king. Servicing our customers and consumers in Europe in an efficient way was impossible in Q1, but the operational step-change delivering through ILG Poland has been pivotal to this year’s European growth.”

Suzanne Coulton, Chief Operating Officer, The INKEY List

Meeting the Challenges of Returns (and Turning Them to Your Advantage)

Returns have always been a fact of life for retailers. Some have treated them as a selling point, others have tried to pretend they weren’t happening.
