SDI sorts for sports retailer

SDI Group, which designs, builds and supports integrated materials handling solutions for international retail, wholesale, fulfilment and ecommerce distribution operations, has announced recent contract wins with Decathlon worth approx. £3m.

The contracts are for the installation of two additional sorting systems for Decathlon, the major French sports clothing and equipment retailer, with a commitment for a further order in the first half of 2010. This builds on the five sites that SDI has commissioned already for Decathlon under its framework contract, bringing the total to eight sites.

Additionally, Decathlon has indicated that it will be considering a further two sites for implementation in the second half of 2010.
