Lindab opened its first unmanned branch with self-scanning in Gent, Belgium,
earlier this week. The innovative sales concept, Flexi Shop, has been developed
and successfully employed by a Belgian company that was acquired by Lindab in
May.
President and CEO, David Brodetsky comments:
"Flexi Shop is an excellent complement to our manned branches. It is entirely in
line with our aim of making life easier for our customers and giving them the
best service. Thanks to the Flexi Shop being open 24/7, our customers can plan
their working day and pick up their goods when it best suits them and their
customers.
We have strong focus on expanding and developing the sales channels within the
Ventilation business area and this is just one of many examples. I can also
mention that we have added new selling points in Lille and Bordeaux, France, and
that we will be opening a new branch on the island of Gotland, Sweden."
