The internationally operating sneaker and streetwear retailer Snipes has signed a long-term contract with Arvato. From the second half of 2026, Arvato will handle the entire operative logistics processing for the retailer's European online business, as Arvato stated in a press release dated September 18.
While Arvato takes over the processing of the e-commerce business, the supply to the pan-European
Snipes stores remains via the in-house distribution center in Wesseling, in order to strengthen the site and safeguard jobs.
The Arvato site in Dorsten is intended to enable efficient operational control of the logistics processes and fast delivery times through its proximity to Snipes' headquarters in Cologne and the existing distribution center in Wesseling. Arvato brings experience in fashion logistics
and also has modern automation technologies.
“The collaboration with Arvato is a strategic step into the future for Snipes. This will allow the logistical requirements of our e-commerce business and the planned growth in volumes in the coming years to be managed optimally,” said Simon Bus, Corporate Spokesperson for Snipes.
„We are very pleased about the trust of Snipes. With
our many years of expertise in fashion logistics, the most advanced automation solutions, and a dedicated team, we are building the basis for a highly efficient e-commerce processing. Together we will shape Snipes' logistics processes to be future-proof and thereby pave the way for further growth and a long-term successful partnership,” said Axel Mayer, President Lifestyle Fashion & Sports at
