“We are very pleased to renew our partnership with Grupa Żywiec and continue our productive and efficient operations, highly focused on our number one value, safety,” said Jean Luc–Bessade, Managing Director for Poland, Czech Republic and Romania at GXO. “Our team members at the warehouse in Elbląg are managing complex logistics operations, including efficient and cost-effective bottle sorting, which is key to our customer’s success. With our continuous improvement approach, we look forward to continuing to provide outstanding service and to help Grupa Żywiec optimize its logistics.”

GXO provides logistics services at Grupa Żywiec’s brewery in Elbląg and at a separate 12,000-sqm logistics centre. Approximately 80 GXO team members manage a variety of supply chain solutions, including production support, warehousing, shuttle service, and delivery execution. The centre is certified ISO 9001, 14001 and 2200, the highest standards of management, food safety, and environmental care. The implementation of automated pallet scanning significantly improved productivity and safety enabling employees to focus on more value-added tasks.

Tomasz Klima, Supply Chain Director for Grupa Żywiec, said, “We are happy to renew our contract with GXO. Thanks to its expertise in the Food & Beverage sector, they have been an excellent partner in helping us quickly adapt to new economic conditions by increasing the efficiency of our logistics, productivity, improving safety and service. With GXO’s help, we are constantly developing solutions to make our supply chain stronger for the future.”

GXO shares Grupa Żywiec’s commitment to customers and the communities in which they operate. By implementing LED lighting and motion detectors, GXO reduced energy use in the Elbląg facility by 70%. GXO has also installed a battery charging station and developed paperless storage processes.

In 2024, the Elbląg site celebrated a five-year, accident-free safety record on site, demonstrating the company’s commitment to safety through the consistent implementation of GXO’s “Road to Zero” safety program and Grupa Żywiec’s SHE DAY program promoting safety, mental health, and employee well-being.
