dm to relocate eCommerce operations to Czech Republic | Progresiv

Just two years after launching online capabilities, Germany’s leading drugstore chain, dm, is moving its operations from Alzenau to the Czech Republic near the city of Bor, along the German border. The move comes as the retailer’s current online distribution center at 5,800 square meters, is no longer large enough to support the business.

The new centre will have 70,000 square meters of capacity and will be operated by the provider Loxxess.

Currently, dm only operates an online business in Germany and Austria. It is now thought that the Czech Republic will be the company’s next target for expansion online. (www.kantarretailiq.com)
