“I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Matkahuolto to its new facility. Matkahuolto places great value on issues of sustainability, just as we do at Logicenters, where we constantly work to ensure that our operations are conducted in the most sustainable way possible. That’s why it is really great to be working with Matkahuolto and I look forward to following its development”, says Jarkko Äikää, Commercial Manager at Logicenters in Finland.
In the spring of 2019, Logicenters completed the refurbishment of its facility in Vantaa. The property underwent a complete renovation to enable it to meet the needs of future logistics operations and to reduce the facility’s carbon footprint. With Matkahuolto now moving in, further alterations are being made to the property to meet the tenant’s requirements for smooth logistics solutions.
“Matkahuolto expects continued strong growth in the coming years and we are delighted to be able to offer it a facility in which it will be able to grow. We will also be making a number of modifications to the facility. Among other things, we will design new loading areas for vans to ensure efficient and smooth logistics operations”, says Jarkko Äikää, Commercial Manager at Logicenters in Finland.
Matkahuolto does not just strive to ensure that the facility is appropriate for simple and smooth logistics operations. It also attaches great importance to ensuring that its employees have a comfortable and good working environment.
“The growth of parcels transported by Matkahuolto is expected to remain strong in the coming years as e-commerce and consumer-to-consumer trade continue to grow. The introduction of the new terminal and investing in a modern technology is part of a broader development programme that will enable Matkahuolto to strengthen its network and services in line with its sustainability programme. We value the well-being of our employees and want them to work in the most modern and functional environment possible. We are confident that Logicenters will be able to meet our expectations and we look forward to conducting our operations here in Vantaa for many years to come”, says Jari Vaino, Chief Operating Officer at Matkahuolto.
