Ocado bets on Groupe Casino

OCADO has extended its partnership with food retailer Groupe Casino in a joint venture providing logistics services to customer fulfilment centres (CFCs) across France.

The firms signed a preliminary agreement in February to support the development and management of French CFCs – third-party logistics hubs where providers sort customer orders for online retailers.

Ocado Solutions boss Luke Jensen said: “This is a great milestone for our relationship with Groupe Casino as we extend the partnership in a number of exciting directions.”
