The company signed $226 million in new business in the third quarter, bringing year-to-date new business to about $750 million, according to a news release.
Malcolm Wilson, CEO of GXO Logistics, said the e-commerce industry was strong in the third quarter.
“We’re seeing increasing demand for e-commerce capacity. This is a long-term structural tailwind that has been a key growth driver for us over the past five years,” Wilson said in a statement. “More than half of our new wins in the third quarter originated from e-fulfillment, and we also opened the largest e-commerce warehouse in France, in partnership with one of our long-term customers.”
