According to Ecommerce News, Dutch online supermarket Picnic has raised €250 million in a new investment round. It wants to use the money to create a robotized distribution center of 42,000 square meters.

The Dutch bank ABN Amro gave Picnic a new loan, along with the investors that are the existing shareholders. The millions of euros will be spent to develop a logistics center, equipped with over a 100 fully automated sorting, packing, and distribution machines.
