The Swedish company SNS (Sneakersnstuff) has entered into a partnership with Dutch logistics company Bleckmann for all logistics handling in Europe. SNS was founded in 1999 and has worked on more than 200 cooperation projects with major footwear brands since 2003. The company started as a local store in the back streets of Södermalm, Stockholm, and has since grown into a global brand and retailer with seven stores in New York City, Los Angeles, Tokyo, London, Paris, Berlin and Stockholm.
Now SNS is joining forces with Bleckmann to improve service to its customers. The Dutch logistics company will operate all SNS warehousing and last-mile distribution in continental Europe. The logistics provider has made 5,000 square meters of the distribution center in Grobbendonk (Belgium) available for SNS operations, with ample room for expansion to accommodate the brand’s future growth. First operations went successfully live in March 2022 and are now in full swing.
The partnership with Bleckmann is also an opportunity to promote the brand’s sustainability. With all logistics moving from Sweden to Belgium, the company will operate from the heart of Europe and be closer to both suppliers and end consumers, which will reduce its overall carbon footprint. Because Bleckmann works with a network of different carriers, the most sustainable supply partners can be selected to continuously reduce emissions, SNS stated.
