Pandora said the new distribution center in Mississauga, Ontario will cut Canadian online order delivery times by up to 50% and simplify the returns process. Previously, Canadian orders had to pass through U.S. distribution centers and U.S. customs.
The facility can process up to 12,500 online orders per day; it is operated by GXO Logistics and is the first site to adopt Pandora's new logistics setup. The system runs on pick-to-light technology.
The investment is viewed as a major tariff exposure mitigation step ahead of the 10% global tariff imposed by the Trump administration in February and the USMCA trilateral review scheduled for July 2026. Canada currently accounts for 14.3% of U.S. trade.
Key Takeaways:
1. Delivery times shorten by up to 50%.
2. Canadian orders no longer pass through U.S. customs.
3. The facility has a daily capacity of 12,500 orders.
4. GXO Logistics operates the site.
5. The move balances tariff exposure ahead of the July USMCA review.
