Arvato Signs Long-Term Contract with Snipes

The internationally operating sneaker and streetwear retailer SNIPES has signed a long-term contract with Arvato. Starting in the second half of 2026, Arvato will take over the entire operational logistics processing for the retailer’s European online business. While Arvato manages the e-commerce business, the supply of SNIPES stores across Europe will continue to be handled by the in-house distribution center in Wesseling.

(Gütersloh/Köln) With Arvato, SNIPES gains a strong partner whose location in Dorsten allows for efficient operational management of logistics processes and fast delivery times due to its proximity to SNIPES’s headquarters in Cologne and the existing distribution center in Wesseling. Arvato not only brings extensive experience in fashion logistics but also possesses modern automation techniques that guarantee SNIPES a powerful and optimized service offering.

“The collaboration with Arvato is a strategic step into the future for SNIPES. This will allow us to optimally meet the logistical requirements of our e-commerce business and the planned volume growth in the coming years,” explains Simon Bus, company spokesperson for SNIPES.

Highly Efficient E-Commerce Processing

“We are very pleased with the trust placed in us by SNIPES. With our many years of expertise in fashion logistics, state-of-the-art automation solutions, and a dedicated team, we are laying the foundation for highly efficient e-commerce processing. Together, we will future-proof SNIPES’s logistics processes and pave the way for further growth and a long-term successful partnership,” says Axel Mayer, President Lifestyle Fashion & Sports at Arvato.
