KIKO Milano Partners with Logistics Reply to Accelerate E-Commerce Delivery in the UK Market
TURIN, Italy--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Logistics Reply, the Reply group company specialising in innovative supply chain solutions has partnered with KIKO Milano, the global cosmetics brand renowned for its cutting edge, high-quality beauty products, to transform its e-commerce operations in the UK.
With rapid growth in the UK market and a rising demand for online shopping and fast home delivery, KIKO recognized the need to evolve its supply chain operations. To meet these challenges, KIKO opened a new dark store in London and selected Logistics Reply with its LEA Reply™ Warehouse Management System (WMS) to build a more scalable and agile logistics infrastructure. A dark store is a retail distribution centre that operates like a traditional store but is closed to the public and used exclusively to fulfil online orders.
In just four months from project kick-off to go-live, the dark store was fully operational and managed entirely by KIKO's in-house team. The new set up has significantly improved both delivery times and product availability across the region.
' Our mission is to delight customers with innovative, high-quality products delivered with speed and reliability' said Paul Devin, Managing Director UK at KIKO. ' This solution has allowed us to cut our e-commerce delivery times in half. Logistics Reply has been a trusted partner throughout the project, their responsiveness, attention to our business needs, and ongoing support have been outstanding.' Devin added.
With its microservices-based architecture, LEA Reply™ offers the flexibility to support a wide range of warehouse needs, from simple to complex, by activating only the necessary services. This modular approach was key to aligning seamlessly with KIKO's operational requirements, enabling the rapid start-up of the new dark store while ensuring scalability for future growth.
' Our deep expertise in e-commerce and flexible technology stack allowed us to deliver a tailored, high-performance solution,' said Enrico Nebuloni, Executive Partner at Reply. ' The success of this project is a testament to strong collaboration between our teams in Italy and the UK, and to the power of combining visionary leadership with scalable innovation.'
This partnership represents a strategic milestone in KIKO's broader digital transformation journey and reinforces its commitment to operational excellence and an exceptional customer experience.

XPEL Reminds Drivers and Homeowners to Protect Against Heat and UV Exposure Ahead of the Summer Solstice
Window tint checkup: owners can bring their cars to an authorized XPEL dealer to verify if their window tint protects against harmful UV rays. SAN ANTONIO, June 19, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As the 2025 summer solstice—the longest day of the year—approaches on June 20th, XPEL, Inc. (NASDAQ: XPEL), a global leader in protective films and coatings, reminds consumers to stay protected from sun-related heat and UV exposure, especially as melanoma and skin cancer diagnoses continue to rise. XPEL's automotive, home and office window films are heat-rejecting and help protect against harmful UV rays. XPEL's PRIME™ automotive window film uses advanced nano-ceramic technology to block over 99% of harmful UVA and UVB rays and significantly reduce solar heat. A recent test highlighted that a car protected with PRIME window film registered 15 degrees cooler than an unprotected similar vehicle. Since not all brands of window tint offer this level of heat rejection and UV protection, XPEL encourages drivers to visit an authorized XPEL retailer in North America to determine whether their current tint is delivering proper UV protection. "Many window films may look similar, but their ability to actually block harmful UV rays and reject heat varies greatly," said Chris DiMinico, XPEL's Director of Product. "Our authorized installers can test your vehicle's window tint to confirm if it's truly nano-ceramic or metallic, and whether it meets the high standards necessary for real UV defense." Homeowner Protection as Well XPEL's Solar Window Film extends this protection into the home or office, blocking up to 78% of the sun's heat and 99% of UV rays while preserving visibility and natural light. These films help reduce energy costs, reduce glare, increase comfort, and protect interior furnishings from fading due to sun exposure. "As daylight hours peak during summer, it's the ideal time for drivers and homeowners to think critically about sun exposure," DiMinico added. "Window film is a practical, year-round investment in both comfort and health." Backed by the Skin Cancer Foundation XPEL's window films have earned the Seal of Recommendation from The Skin Cancer Foundation, a trusted symbol of effective UV protection. This recognition reinforces XPEL's commitment to skin safety, providing additional peace of mind. Longest Day, Highest Exposure The summer solstice on June 20 marks the year's longest stretch of daylight in the Northern Hemisphere, and with it, an increase in UV intensity and heat load in cars and homes. XPEL's advanced window film solutions offer a smart and effective line of defense from the sun.

XPEL is a leading provider of protective films and coatings, including paint protection film, surface protection film, window films and ceramic coatings in the automotive, architectural and marine industries.
