CEVA Logistics expands global partnership with IKEA as it opens New York
Distribution Centre

Baar, Switzerland 4 March, 2019 - CEVA Logistics and IKEA, the world's
leading home furnishings retailer, have celebrated the opening of a new
Customer Distribution Center (CDC) at Staten Island on the US east coast.
Under a five-year deal to provide warehouse management and fulfilment
services, CEVA will manage the 975,000 sq ft (906,000 sq m) site.

Built on a previously vacant 200 acre piece on land on the west shore of
Staten Island, the focus of the new CDC will be on delivering items to
customers who order products online or purchase larger items at an IKEA
store or Planning Studio for home delivery. The facility is already fully
operational and works seven days a week.

Brett Bissell, CEVA's Chief Operating Officer, Contract Logistics, who
represented the company at the recent Grand Opening, told the audience: "We
have developed an excellent working relationship with IKEA where we have
focused on the cultural alignment between our two companies so that we can
deliver the operational excellence IKEA demands every time.

"We've used our logistics expertise to design and deliver solid solutions
which specifically meet your needs and enable this huge facility to run
effectively. We then combine the skills and experience of our operations
managers and supply chain designers to make the building work for you on a
day-to-day basis."

"We are proud to partner with CEVA logistics to operate our new Staten
Island fulfilment center, which has brought 200 new jobs in the market,"
said Tanja Dysli, Customer Fulfillment Manager, IKEA Retail U.S. "The new
facility will help meet the delivery needs of our New York-area customers
whether they are shopping in our stores, the IKEA Planning Studio or
online."

CEVA and IKEA have worked together since 2015 with successful working
partnerships in the UK and Australia.
