Lindex is now one of northern Europe's leading fashion chains with over 300 stores and a turnover of 5 billion. It sells women's-wear, kids-wear and lingerie. Lindex has after a number of years with an "outsourced" distribution to the stores decided to take back the distribution in-house. Its newest DC is in Partille, Göteborg (only < 1km away from Swisslog Sweden (Partille) office)
