Turkish fulfilment company OPLOG opens its first UK warehouse for retail and e-commerce brands

OPLOG, an Istanbul-based company, has opened a fulfilment centre in Leighton Buzzard, its first such facility in the UK.

By combining its in-house fulfilment software and robotics, OPLOG, which was founded in 2013, provides companies such as Sony, Tupperware, and Rossmann with a way to oversee their supply chain operations from a single platform.

Close to various last mile delivery and logistics operators, Leighton Buzzard was selected as the ideal location for OPLOG’s push into the UK.

The firm intends to hire 50 employees, who will be responsible for running the day-to-day operations at the warehouse.

“Bringing OPLOG to the UK marks a major step in our company's journey, so I am excited to launch our fulfilment centre in the UK, and I am super confident that this will be a major part of our global fulfilment network,” says Halit Develioglu, CEO and Founder at OPLOG.

As the fourth largest e-commerce market in the world, opening our first UK warehouse in Leighton Buzzard offers an exciting opportunity for us to add significant value to UK businesses and consumers.”

“We believe that OPLOG will be highly efficient and competitive in the UK's logistics market while offering a seamless post-purchase experience to new generation consumer brands.”

“Setting up and running an online retail brand is really tough, especially when your customers expect next-day delivery, personalisation and immaculate customer service.”

“Our mission is to give brands a way to tick all these boxes, without needing to compromise.”

“Opening fulfilment centres which incorporate our vision for the use of robotics and connect directly to our intuitive inventory management software is a key part of achieving this goal.”
