Damart is a French clothing chain established in 1953. In May 2016 it announced that it will relocate its logistics facilities from Dottignies in Belgium, to Hem in France. The decision aims to benefit from economies of scale and automation in order to offer quicker deliveries and meet future customer requirements. The 33 employees will be guaranteed a job at the new facility which is some 15km away.
