In 2017, Gymshark concluded an agreement with the British subsidiary of Bleckmann Logistics for the management of the entire logistics and e-commerce process. Only a year later, Gymshark’s international distribution activities moved to Bleckmann’s fulfilment center in Grobbendonk, near Antwerp.

Thanks to the continuing success of the British e-commerce player, Bleckmann decided to build a new distribution center for Gymshark in Rieme, near Ghent. No less than 17,000 m² of this brand-new distribution center is exclusively used by Gymshark.

Steve Hewitt, Chief Executive Officer at Gymshark: “We have been working with Bleckmann since August 2017 and they are the key ingredient in keeping our promise to customers in 170+ countries. They are truly world class.”

Gymshark is one of the fastest growing companies in the UK. It was founded in 2012 – literally – in a garage by Ben Francis, who was still a university student at the time. Since then, the brand has become a competitor to fitness clothing brands such as Nike.
