Jysk chooses Rovigo as its first distribution centre in Italy

Jysk, the international retailer of Danish origin specialising in furniture and articles for the home and garden, is taking another significant step in its development in Italy by announcing the location of its first distribution centre in Northern Italy: it will be situated in the province of Rovigo, in Veneto.

A logistics hub to support growth

The Rovigo facility will be the eleventh distribution centre Jysk in Europe: a strategic investment that responds to the needs of a constantly expanding company and will support not only the Italian market, but also the other Southern European markets in which Jysk operates.

While waiting for the new, fully automated facility to be built in the same area, Jysk has signed a contract for the use of a warehouse measuring approximately 90.000 square metres, ensuring continuity of logistics operations.

Closer to customers

With 117 stores across all 20 Italian regions and more than 1.000 employees, Jysk Italia has consolidated strong and sustained growth in recent years, culminating in the financial year 2024/2025 with record revenue of 152,3 million euros, up 24,5% on the previous year. The new logistics hub forms part of this trajectory as a further element of the brand's long-term strategy in the country.

“The opening of a distribution centre in Italy marks an important milestone in Jysk's growth strategy in the country and will enable us to be even closer to our customers. Faster deliveries and greater product availability will have a significant impact on the shopping experience, both in stores and online. Our ambition is to be customers' first choice,” says Cesare Bailo, Managing Director and Country Director of Jysk Italia.

International perspective

The project is also part of a broader group-wide vision, which recognises the Italian market as an important pillar of JYSK's European logistics strategy.

“I am very pleased that we have identified the ideal location for our first distribution centre in Northern Italy. With more than 110 stores in the country, our colleagues have already done an outstanding job, and we are now building the new logistics configuration on these solid foundations,” says Ole Thomsen, Executive Vice President Logistics at Jysk.
