On
1 December 2011, the Mr Bricolage group combined all of its logistics operations within MB Log.
This new company will simplify the Logistics organisation of the Group. MB Log includes the warehouses at Voivres-lès-Le-Mans (72), Cahors (46) and Artenay (45) and the part of logistics administration based at La Chapelle Saint-Mesmin, head office of the Group in Le Loiret. The company employs 160.
The logistics platform in Cahors will be transferred in 2013. A new warehouse, currently under construction, will be opened. The surface area of the warehouse will increase from 6,000 to 20,000 m². This new resource is a key phase in the deployment of Group logistics in south France.
With the implementation on the Law on the Modernisation of the Economy (LME) and, in particular, the reduction in terms of payment, the Mr Bricolage Group has totally revised its logistics model. The reduction in store stocks required has made changes to flow-based logistics indispensable. The delivery methods used for all product references and, in particular, distributor-brand products, has been reconsidered. The group’s aim is to enhance the profitability of stores while reducing the cost of possessing products to improve cash flow.
