Pandora opens new distribution centre in Canada

Danish jewellery brand Pandora has opened a new distribution centre in Canada to strengthen its operations in the region_ a move aimed at minimising the company_s exposure to US tariffs.

The new online distribution centre in Mississauga_ Ontario_ Canada_ will handle Pandora_s growing Canadian online business_ as the country has emerged as one of the brand_s fast-growing markets_ with revenue growing more than 50 percent since 2019 and surpassing 1 billion Danish kroner in 2025.

Currently_ more than 20 percent of Pandora_s Canadian sales come from online sales_ and orders used to be handled from distribution centres in the US. By moving processing to Canada_ Pandora states it will cut delivery times by up to 50 percent_ 2-4 days instead of 5-7_ as well as simplify returns.

The shift also reduces Pandora_s exposure to US tariffs_ as online jewellery orders destined for the Canadian market no longer need to pass through US customs.

Tania Brosseau_ vice president of Canada_ said in a statement: “The new distribution centre is an important step forward for Pandora in Canada. It means faster deliveries_ more reliable service and a better overall experience for our Canadian customers.

“The new centre also reflects how we continually optimise our global distribution network to support long-term growth and strengthen our global supply chain.”

Operated by GXO Logistics_ the Mississauga facility is capable of processing up to 12_500 online orders per day and serves as the first site to implement Pandora_s new logistics architecture designed to deliver better stock availability and higher order accuracy_ as the centre uses an advanced “pick-to-light” order system_ guiding employees with pinpoint lights that indicate exactly which items to place in a specific jewellery order. This speeds up order processing and reduces the risk of errors.

Pandora has 96 stores across Canada and employs more than 1_400 people. Its Canadian retail network is served directly from the company_s central distribution hub in Thailand.
