Estée Lauder has opened a new state-of-the-art distribution centre in Switzerland to help boost growth of its global travel retail business.

The 300,000 square foot facility at Galgenen will also help drive the cosmetics company’s sustainability efforts through its best-in-class environmental design and renewable energy features.

Accounting for 28% of ELC’s sales in its 2021 financial year, duty-free environments including airports, downtown locations, airlines, cruises and border shops, form one of the company]s highest growth channels.

ELC has a long history of success within Switzerland after opening its affiliate office more than 55 years ago. It currently has four distribution centres in the country.
