Logistics & Order Fulfilment in Europe
If you’re a UK brand looking for more customers in the EU, ILG makes it faster, easier and more cost-effective to fulfil your e-commerce orders. Three 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.

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, with a new bespoke 40,000m2 unit opening 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…”

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.
Fulfilment in Poland makes good economic sense, with labour rates and operating costs significantly below those for most other EU countries. With its excellent road infrastructure and highly skilled labour force, Poland is attracting significant foreign investment and rapidly growing its warehouse capacity.
Expert Help with Your VAT
ILG’s tax compliance partners get you up and running quickly and support you fully as you trade from Poland. We partner with an independent 90-strong team of international tax and accounting professionals who service clients in more than 60 countries.
From registration and invoice requirements to filing VAT returns and efficiently reclaiming your tax, we’ll help you cut through the red tape in local language and take care of every aspect of your VAT and other compliance needs.
How to Expand Your Brand Across Europe
Already worth £642 billion, EU online sales are set to grow annually by 12% until 2026. See how ILG can help to grow your European sales.

To delve deeper into the fascinating world of bees, we recently held a bee workshop at Yusen Logistics Frankfurt Airport facility. Under the expert guidance of our beekeeper, Reimund Saffian, our team gained invaluable insights. Here are some key takeaways: 📚 In-Depth Bee Education: Our beekeeper explained the essential role bees play in our environment and their significant impact on human life. We learned how crucial they are for pollination and biodiversity. 📜 Historical Insights: We journeyed through the history of beekeeping, from ancient times to the present, understanding how human interaction with bees has evolved. 🐝 Bee Behaviour: It was surprising to discover how calm and gentle bees can be, yet also how they can fiercely protect their hives when necessary. 🍯 Beyond Honey: Honeybees are incredible producers of not only honey but also wax and propolis, each with its unique benefits and uses. 🛠️ Beekeeping Tools: We explored the various tools used by beekeepers for managing hives and harvesting honey, gaining a hands-on understanding of the beekeeping process. A big thank you to Alvéole and our beekeeper Reimund Saffian for making this workshop both educational and engaging. #BeekeepingWorkshop #Sustainability #UrbanBiodiversity #LocalHoney
