M&S rolls out Zalando fulfilment deal in 22 European markets
M&S rolls out Zalando fulfilment deal in 22 European markets LONDON, Aug 25 (Reuters) - Britain's Marks & Spencer MKS.L has expanded its partnership with Germany's Zalando ZALG.DE, enabling the online fashion retailer to fulfil M&S' direct-to-consumer orders across 22 continental European markets, it said on Tuesday.
M&S said the partnership would help scale its European online business through faster deliveries and returns, while reducing logistics costs by up to half.
The partnership was announced in November last year and successfully trialed in Poland this month.
Partnership now expanded across Europe, including M&S' largest online markets of France, the Netherlands, Germany and Spain.
M&S said it is continuing to see momentum in its international online business, driven by growing demand for its fashion offer.
In May, M&S forecast a return to profit growth this year after it slumped 24% in 2025/26, hit by a cyberattack that dented sales and margins.
