DEVELOPING AN EFFICIENT LOGISTICS NETWORK IN WESTERN EUROPE

• THE BULLY-LES-MINES MODEL

A logistics center devoted to all Groupe SEB’s Small domestic appliances brands,

Bully-les-Mines (Hauts-de-France) is a major logistics hub in northern Europe.

Located at a road and rail intersection, it will shortly benefit from the enlargement

of the Béthune river port to maximize transport by barge. The center manages

supply from ports in line with eco-logistics principles by favoring environmentally

friendly methods such as barge transport. Focusing on both logistics performance

to satisfy customers and environmental performance, the Bully-les-Mines center

provides efficient and high-quality services. After an initial operating stage (50,000

pallets) since April 2023 for shipping to France and Belgium, Groupe SEB laid

the foundations for optimized operational management enabling it to ship to new

markets from April 2024: Germany, Austria and the Netherlands. This logistics hub

has become a model, rolled out at other centers in France and abroad.

• TIL-CHÂTEL, A NEW LOGISTICS HUB

In 2025, Til-Châtel (Côte-d’Or) will

be the new strategic logistics center

dedicated to Groupe SEB’s cookware.

Construction started in April 2024

and will last for about ten months.

Based on the Bully-les-Mines site’s

growth model, the warehouse will be

operational for France and Belgium

in April 2025, then Germany, Austria

and the Netherlands the following year.

This method ensures precise

management an operational startup

of just over 50 of the center to

confirm that standards are met with

an optimum level of service With

TilChâtel Groupe SEB is strengthening

its logistics network to improve

product availability for clients, while

rationalizing inventory levels and

staying close to the barycenter of supply

and delivery flows.

TOOLS TO ASSIST ECO-LOGISTICS

In order to optimize loading rates,

Groupe SEB has established the

EffyPACK process, the goal of which is

to improve palletization. Rollout of this

solution continued in Europe (87.2% fill

rate), in China (85.8%) for small do-

mestic appliances, and in Colombia.

Road freight is also gathering momen-

tum. Delivery routes have been opti-

mized in Europe thanks to direct flows:

merchandise no longer systematically

transits through subsidiaries’ ware-

houses. Lastly, the Group also endeav-

ors to reduce empty space inside pack-

aging as far as possible Transporting

less empty space means emitting less

CO

For example simply separating

the head neck and base of the Ultra

Silence Force fan Arno launched in

2020 has reduced packaging volume

and empty space by 30

The Group has made significant pro

gress in reducing emissions related to

shipping products raw materials and

components thanks to all the meas

ures taken This has led to a 13 re

duction of emissions per product sold

between 2016 and 2023
