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.

'Respectfully, Maserati Is Not for Sale:' Stellantis Denies Another Rumor About the Brand's Possible Sale
Maserati isn't doing well. Sales for the Italian brand collapsed in 2024 , and they saw a 48 percent decline through the first three months of 2025. That's bleak. The poor sales have led to rumors that Stellantis might sell the Italian brand, but the automotive conglomerate continues to deny any such allegations . Stellantis did so again this week when Reuters asked the automaker if it had plans to sell Maserati amid a new rumor. A spokesperson rebuffed the allegation and told the publication, 'Respectfully, Maserati is not for sale,' reconfirming its commitment to the brand. Photo by: Maserati However, Reuters 's two sources allege McKinsey, the consultant Stellantis hired in April to navigate President Donald Trump's new import tariffs , could recommend that the automaker divest in Maserati in some way. It's supposedly one of the options McKinsey is exploring for the automaker. According to one source, Stellantis has told the consultancy to consider all possibilities for the ailing brand. However, McKinsey is allegedly still in the early phases of its work, so any definitive decision about Maserati's future is unlikely to arrive anytime soon. Another source told Reuters there is disagreement among the board about what to do with the Italian company. Some supposedly believe the brand has value to the automaker as its only luxury marque. However, others think Stellantis doesn't have the resources to support Maserati as it struggles to revamp its lineup. Maserati's Lacking Lineup Maserati has discontinued the Ghibli and the Levante, two of its best-selling models, but their replacements won't arrive until 2028 and 2027, respectively. That leaves the $80,000 Grecale (pictured below) as its only SUV in an industry where consumers continue to flock to such vehicles. It also sells the Gran Turismo , a coupe, and the MC20 supercar. Neither of those cars has broad appeal, and neither are enough to keep a brand afloat. Last year, former Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares admitted that Maserati was ' in the red .' Replacing the Levante and Ghibli could help turn around the brand's sales and financial outlook, but the luxury market is highly competitive. Alfa Romeo, another of Stellantis's Italian companies, is revamping its lineup, and it can't have products that interfere with Maserati's and vice versa. That leaves little room for either.

INICIO™ multi-slide door delivers expansive views, effortless movement, and design-driven flexibility
*Architect-driven design meets American performance in the newest innovation from BMD Manufacturing.* GALT, Calif., June 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- INICIO™, a brand of BMD Manufacturing, has launched its new multi-slide door system, a precision-engineered solution for indoor-outdoor living in modern residential design. Inspired by European minimalism and manufactured to meet U.S. performance standards, this aluminum multi-slide system combines expansive glass, smooth movement, and design flexibility for high-end applications. As the "bringing the outdoors in" trend continues to shape residential architecture, design professionals are seeking wider openings that welcome light, air, and uninterrupted views. The INICIO multi-slide door is engineered to meet those priorities with clean profiles and refined operation. Architectural simplicity, built for impact The system features narrow stiles and rails, a flush sill option, and a quiet European carriage system for smooth panel movement. Individual panels can reach up to 70 square feet—up to 12 feet in height and up to 8 feet in width—with unlimited tracks available for large-format openings. Custom colors. Split finishes. Maximum flexibility. INICIO offers standard finishes in clear anodized and black anodized, both delivering lasting architectural appeal. For expanded design control, over 200 powder coat color options are available, all finished to meet AAMA 2604 standards. The system supports split-finish capability, allowing different colors on the interior and exterior of each door. This gives architects the freedom to match interior palettes while coordinating with an independent exterior design. Custom color matching is also available on request. High-performance glass by Saint-Gobain INICIO multi-slide doors use high-efficiency Low E3 glass manufactured by Saint-Gobain. Two performance configurations are available: Low E3 – CLX 61/29: Ideal for hot climates or strong solar exposure. Offers lower solar heat gain and higher exterior reflectivity. Low E3 – CLX 70/33: Allows more daylight transmission while maintaining thermal performance. A strong option for balanced natural lighting. Both glass options feature argon gas fill and triple silver Low E coatings for energy efficiency, UV protection, and clarity. Secure hardware and integrated screen options Hardware options include AmesburyTruth ® and HOPPE® systems with flush handles and optional keyed exterior access, available in silver, black, or white. Centor ® retractable screens are available to enhance ventilation and comfort without compromising sightlines. Warranty and availability INICIO multi-slide doors are backed by a 10-10-5 warranty: 10 years on finish, 10 years on glass, and 5 years on hardware.

Pope Leo XIV Urges Tech Executives to Come Up With an Ethical AI Framework
Pope Leo XIV, who took over leadership of the Catholic Church in May, is revealing one area that he'll be focusing on: artificial intelligence. The Pope has called for tech companies to develop a "superior ethical criterion" against which AI should be evaluated. This message was delivered to tech leaders, including leaders from Google, Meta, OpenAI, and IBM, attending the second annual conference on AI and its ethics in Rome. The framework the Pope is asking for would ensure that AI takes "into account the well-being of the human person not only materially, but also intellectually and spiritually." In the Friday message, the Pope also points to AI's unprecedented and rapid access to information as potentially impacting children's development the most. "Our youth," he said, "must be helped, and not hindered, in their journey towards maturity and true responsibility." This isn't the first time the Pope has discussed AI; he mentioned it in his first papal address in May. He also recently spoke of the challenges that "call into question respect for the dignity of the human person" in a speech to Italian bishops. Artificial intelligence, biotechnologies, the data economy and social media were all included in that speech. He's not condemning AI outright. There is potential for good, he noted, saying that if used right, AI could "promote greater equality." However, the Pope notes that AI also offers the possibility of "misuse for selfish gain" to "foment conflict and aggression." The Vatican doesn't have any regulatory power, but that hasn't stopped it from being vocal about the ethics of AI. In 2020, the Vatican created the Rome Call for AI Ethics, a document about the ethical considerations of AI algorithms. IBM, Qualcomm and Microsoft all signed on, agreeing to abide by the principles. The Pope's firm stance on AI is similar to that of his predecessor, the late Pope Francis, who urged that AI be used only to benefit humanity.
