Warehouse automation firm Element Logic and clothing retailer Lululemon today said that Lululemon’s one million-square foot, state-of-the-art distribution center (DC) in Brampton, Ontario, had become fully operational.
The Brampton DC features a major AutoStore system with 525 R5 pro robots and 292,000 storage bins, supported by approximately 24,000 linear feet of material handling equipment, an overhead monorail transport system, advanced omnichannel fulfillment technologies, and a fully integrated software ecosystem.
Together, those systems will provide an advanced automated distribution operation that strengthens Lululemon’s ability to move product efficiently across stores and e-commerce.
According to the partners, the facility represents the latest milestone in a 14-year automation partnership between the two companies and supports the fulfillment of lululemon’s growing e-commerce business across Eastern Canada and United States.
“The Brampton facility—the largest AutoStore deployment in Canada and second largest in North America—reflects what is possible when long-term trust and technical execution come together at scale,” said Krish Nathan, CEO of Element Logic Americas. “We are proud to support lululemon with integrated automation that is designed around the needs of a complex, growing omnichannel network.”
