“The building is a good example of how a traditional warehouse also can function as a modern production facility. The property is designed with the longevity in mind – making sure it can serve different needs over time,” says Jarkko Äikää, Commercial Director of Logicenters Finland.

Additionally, Mayor Janne Mellin of Tuusula attended the ceremony and emphasizes the broader importance of the development for the municipality.

The new facilities and operations will secure the jobs that DEXIS provides here in Tuusula, helping to maintain the municipality’s vitality and also offering new opportunities for growth. The Municipality of Tuusula deeply values the trust that DEXIS has shown by choosing to remain here and to further develop its operations in this location.”

A new, state-of-the-art sorting center is currently taking shape next to Helsinki-Vantaa Airport in Finland. The property is being built directly adjacent to the runway and will serve as DHL Express’s main logistics hub in Helsinki.

The increasing need for express transport is now being met by a 16,000 m² facility, strategically located to streamline both national and international deliveries. DHL Express, the world’s leading logistics company, has previously had successful collaborations with Logicenters in several European markets.

“We are really pleased with the completion of the new logistics center. This creates the conditions for growth and helps Finnish companies reach the global market. At the same time, it is a significant investment in the well-being and occupational safety of our employees. We want to continue to be one of the best workplaces in Finland, where technology and well-being go hand in hand,” says Oktay Nuri, CEO of DHL Express Finland.

The new sorting center is currently undergoing full testing, including the advanced sorting system with a capacity of 6,500 packages per hour. The facility is designed to bring together multiple modes of transport under one roof – from air freight to general cargo and vehicle transport – making the logistics chain both faster and smoother.

“We are proud and grateful to be part of DHL Express Finland’s global initiative and expansion of its logistics network. A similar internal logistics solution has not been implemented in Finland before. We are happy to help DHL Express Finland build the logistics infrastructure of the future,” says Jarkko Äikää, Commercial Director at Logicenters.

The project is being run in accordance with Logicenters’ sustainability principles. The property will be equipped with geothermal heating and solar panels, and applications for both LEED Platinum certification and energy class A have already been initiated.

Ruukki Construction, part of SSAB, has signed an agreement with real estate investor Nrep’s logistics arm Logicenters to deliver a unique logistics center in Tampere. The lifecycle emissions of the building will be significantly smaller than usual, as the walls will be made of innovative Ruukki^® LowCarbon products.

Ruukki will supply sandwich panels and design profiles in the Ruukki^® LowCarbon product family to a logistics center that Logicenters is building in Tampere, Finland. The installation contractor for the steel elements is Teräselementti Oy.

The choice of Ruukki^® LowCarbon products means the climate impact of the building envelope will be up to 50% lower than products made of standard steel.

The pilot products in the LowCarbon product range launched by Ruukki in May will be delivered to the customer in the second and third quarters of 2024, and the building is scheduled for completion by the end of 2024.

“Ruukki’s low-carbon building products are a perfect fit for our sustainability goals and state-of-the-art logistics center.

We are aiming for BREEAM Excellent environmental certification for the property,” says Sanna Vikström, Development Manager at Logicenters.

“We are proud to be able to take the construction industry towards carbon neutrality with our products. Our LowCarbon products help customers reach even the strictest carbon footprint targets for buildings,” says Jani Backlund, Business Director, Building Envelopes, Finland at Ruukki Construction.
