Logicenters is now acquiring a warehouse facility in Eskilstuna with a total area of 71 600 m². The logistics company Logent – operating on behalf of Beijer Byggmaterial – will be the tenant in the property. The facility also includes a building right for an additional 27 000 m²and is expected to be completed by the end of April 2024.

“We are delighted to acquire this brand-new central warehouse and further strengthen Logicenters’ presence in Eskilstuna. We look forward to a great collaboration with Logent and Beijer and are committed to being a valuable growth partner for many years to come”, says Matthias Kettelhoit, CEO at Logicenters.

Through a forward purchase agreement, Logicenters is acquiring Beijer Byggmaterial’s central warehouse in Eskilstuna. In addition, it includes a building right of 27 000 m² on the same plot. The property will be leased by the logistics company Logent AB, which manages operations for Beijer Byggmaterial.

“Logent has been a part of the project since day one and has played a significant role in the design and layout of the property to ensure optimal conditions for the efficient operation of Beijer’s logistics. For Logent, it feels good that the property has found a long-term and stable owner through Logicenters’ acquisition of Beijer Byggmaterial’s central warehouse in Eskilstuna. This creates the conditions for us to continue offering high-quality logistics solutions to our customers. Logicenters are competent in property management, and we feel confident that they will be a good partner that creates the conditions for continued seamless collaboration for our operations”, says Daniel Rhedin, Vice President Solution Design at Logent AB.

The property is strategically located near Highway 53 and E20, with direct access to Stockholm – and by car, you can reach Eskilstuna in just 17 minutes. Buses run between Kjulamon and Eskilstuna every half-hour, making it convenient for customers and employees.

Logicenters is acquiring the completed facility from the current property owner, Charmilla Eskilstuna AB, who views the agreement positively.

“This deal is further evidence of our excellent and professional collaboration in the logistics market since our inception in 2007. I sell to Logicenters with great confidence, knowing they will manage and develop the property in an outstanding manner”, says Jan Lindberg, Owner of Charmilla Eskilstuna AB.

Logicenters acquires logistic properties for over 2 billion SEK from Bockasjö, Kilenkrysset and Kilenkrysset Sweden

July 3, 2023 6:30 am Comments Off

Bockasjö, Kilenkrysset and Kilenkrysset Sweden are selling five properties with a total leasable area of approximately 120,000 square meters and land of 16,000 square meters at an underlying property value of just over 2 billion SEK to Logicenters. Four of the properties included in the acquisition are located in Rosersberg with Åhléns, Kicks and Sellpy as tenants. The land area of 16,000 square meters consists of expansion land next to Åhléns property, which allows the construction of approximately 12,000 square meters of new logistics space. The fifth property consists of a vacant property of 20,400 square meters of leasable space under construction in Eskilstuna Logistikpark.

The property that Åhléns rents contains 37,500 square meters of leasable space and was completed in December 2021. The Åhléns property includes an adjacent plot of 16,000 square meters that enables the possible construction of approximately 12,000 square meters of new logistics space.

In the same area, two properties are being built that are leased to Kicks and Sellpy. The properties are ready for occupancy on September 1st this year and have a leasable area of 41,481 square meters and 20,400 square meters respectively.

In Eskilstuna Logistikpark, Bockasjö is building a vacant logistics property of 20,400 square meters of leasable space, which will be completed at the turn of the year.

The property of Åhléns and the plot of land will be accessed immediately. The Kicks and Sellpy properties will be taken over on 1 October this year, and the property in Eskilstuna will be taken over spring 2024.

The properties in Rosersberg are close to the E4, Arlanda Airport and Stockholm, which creates great opportunities for companies that want to establish their logistics operations in the area. In addition, most properties are environmentally certified according to Breeam and generate green electricity using solar cells.

“We are extremely proud and happy about our acquisitions in Rosersberg and Eskilstuna. The collaboration with Bockasjö has been excellent. They develop properties that align with our business, which is very positive. For Logicenter’s account, this is one of the larger deals in Sweden and we look forward to further expand our presence in these attractive areas. It will be exciting to collaborate with existing operations and to welcome new tenants who want to run efficient logistics operations,” says Matthias Kettelhoit, CEO at Logicenters.

“The deal we are doing together with Logicenters, Bockasjö and Kilenkrysset Sweden is strong proof that good relationships, fine collaborations and professional creation in the form of construction and development lead to positive conditions for both property owners and tenants. I have strong confidence that Logicenters will manage these properties very well, as they have done with our previous deals. I have a very positive view of the future,” says Jan Persson, CEO and owner of Kilenkrysset.

“This deal is a statement of strength in a difficult market. Logicenters has the capacity and muscle to be able to carry out a major deal at a time when many are waiting – that’s strong. The properties we sell are state-of-the-art and adapted to a high environmental standard with solar cells installed on all four properties and located in strategic logistics locations – Rosersberg and Eskilstuna. Logicenters is a leading professional owner of logistics properties with a significant portfolio, which guarantees good management of the properties,” says Joakim Hedin CEO of Bockasjö AB.

“It feels very positive that it is Logicenters who will become the new owner of the property that we jointly built together with Bockasjö. The property where Sellpy joins as a tenant has all the criteria for a modern and climate-smart building,” says Annika Persson, CEO and owner of Kilenkrysset Sweden.

Logicenters is building a large terminal for Bring in Vaggeryd

June 15, 2023 7:31 am Comments Off

Logicenters will develop one of Bring’s largest terminals in the Nordic region. The modern facility is expected to be completed in early 2025 in Stigamo, just south of Jönköping, along the E4 highway.

Logicenters continues to expand in Jönköping through the new agreement with the delivery company Bring. In southern Stigamo, a 32,000 m² terminal with smart technology and advanced sorting facilities will be built on the 125,000 m² plot of land.

”We are very pleased to expand our long-term collaboration with Bring and together continue to develop the logistics center of the future in one of the most attractive logistics locations in the Nordic region. With our state-of-the-art, and environmentally friendly property, we will create a good working environment and efficient handling that supports Bring’s continued development”, says Fredrik Nygren, Commercial Manager at Logicenters.

Bring is one of the largest logistics operators with a strong presence throughout the Nordic region. The new property, with the possibility of further expansion, will be the company’s largest terminal in Sweden, with the capacity to handle three times as many packages as the current facility in Jönköping.

”The terminal in Jönköping is the hub of our Swedish operations. In order to continue growing, we need to increase our capacity in Jönköping with a new terminal. The new terminal will be our largest in Sweden”, says Hanna Jonasson, Director of Operations at Bring Sweden.

The new property will be developed with modern technology and adapted to meet Logicenters’ and Bring’s high standards for low energy consumption. Among other things, solar panels will be installed on the roof, and it will be prepared with more charging stations than any other of Bring’s terminals in Sweden.

”We are preparing to use many more electric vehicles than we currently have. In two years, all our deliveries in Sweden will be fossil-free, so the new terminal will have more charging points than any other terminal we have in Sweden”, says Hanna Jonasson.

The property is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2025, and the site has space for expansion in the future.

“First and foremost, we welcome Bring to Vaggeryd Municipality. It is a strong company and brand that is now establishing a terminal with us. With this establishment, we further strengthen our position as a logistical hub in Sweden“, says Gert Jonsson, Chairman of the Municipal Board in Vaggeryd Municipality.

“Bring may become a landmark in Stigamo, as the location is very central and visible. It will also be an exciting addition to the existing logistics operations in the municipality“, says Johan Thorsell, Business Development Manager at Vaggeryd Municipality.

The new 3PL center will be developed in line with Logicenters ambitious environmental profile with sustainability in focus. In addition to solar cells being installed on the roof, the ambition for the property is to be environmentally certified according to BREEAM Excellent.

“It is with pleasure that we can communicate this deal after we have worked on this project for a long time. The facility will be Frigoscandia’s future hub for southern Sweden and it feels very good that we have been able to offer this opportunity. For us, it is gratifying that we are strengthening another development project by building in a chilled and frozen plant,” says Matthias Kettelhoit, CEO at Logicenters.

To adapt the facility to the customer’s needs, the property will include several temperature zones, including frozen, chilled and ambient storage. The frozen section will be a total of 18,300 m² where the temperature can be lowered to -25°C. The facility will also include an office section of approximately 2,500 m² that will be Frigoscandias’ new headquarter.

“In our plan for growth and further development of our service offering, it is a clear strategy to modernize and develop our facilities and infrastructure. The property’s design and location in Hyllinge will have great advantages and we are now looking forward to working in a facility that both helps our customers to meet their environmental goals and the rapid supply chain adjustments that will be required in the future,” says Peter Haveneth, CEO at Frigoscandia.

Over the past two years, Logicenters has been developing its property at Enköping Logistics Park for Kronans Apotek. This work has now been completed and the new logistics facility of approximately 20,000 m² is ready to welcome one of Sweden’s largest pharmacy chains.

Two years ago, Logicenters signed an agreement for the development of a new logistics facility for Kronans Apotek, one of Sweden’s largest pharmacy chains.

We see this as a major step for us, enabling us to further strengthen our presence around the Mälaren region as Enköping is a perfect place for logistics operations,” says Dan Adolfsson, Logistics Manager, Kronans Apotek.

It has been announced that Bona is expanding its presence in Staffanstorp, just outside Malmö where it was once created. A multi-year lease agreement has been signed with Logicenters for 7,000 m2 at the logistics property company’s new facility.

“Our ambition to develop a full-scale logistics park in Staffanstorp feels more and more real every day. It is an attractive area where many companies are seeking intelligent logistics, something we are able to offer. We are delighted to have Bona as a new tenant, a traditional company with great potential for further growth,” says Fredrik Nygren, Commercial Manager at Logicenters.

The property is being built at Västanvägen in Kronoslätts Logistics Park. With its proximity to Malmö and the Öresund region, the area’s geographical location is very attractive to many different types of companies. In the past, major companies such as First Class Brands of Sweden, Bring Frigo, BMW and Microsoft have chosen to establish a presence at the logistics park. Bona will become a neighbour to Norwegian electricity importer Elbutik.

“I must take this opportunity to say that we are delighted to be working with Logicenters and its ambitious sustainability profile. It is really something that fits our business like a glove. Bona has never been interested in taking the easy way out and we are always looking to find working methods that minimise our environmental impact,” says Matz Lilja, Global Purchasing Director at Bona.

February 16, 2023 7:39 am Comments Off

It has been announced that one of the new tenants at the site will be Elbutik.se, Sweden’s largest online electrical store. It is part of the listed Elektroimportören Group, which is continuing to record strong growth and positive development in the market. The lease for more than 10,000 m² spans ten years and a state-of-the-art Autostore unit will be installed at the premises for efficient logistics handling.

“Following on from our strong growth in Norway with Elektroimportøren and our recent acquisition of Elbutik Scandinavia, we are really looking forward to strengthening our presence yet further in Staffanstorp. It will be our future expansion platform, offering close proximity to the whole Öresund region and excellent transport links to the rest of the country. We are delighted by the cooperation with Logicenters, which has offered the flexibility and environmental friendliness that made us choose this facility,” says Andreas Niss, CEO at Elektroimportøren.

“It is with great pleasure that we welcome Elbutik to our modern facility. Its forward-looking approach will be beneficial for years to come. The company already has a presence in the locality but the geographical position for logistics will create potential for even greater expansion,” says Fredrik Nygren, Commercial Manager at Logicenters.

With its proximity to Malmö and the Öresund region, the area’s geographical location is very attractive to many different types of companies.

Logicenters to install solar cells across 800,000 m2

February 10, 2023 7:35 am Comments Off

Logicenters is continuing to concentrate on a sustainable future. To lead the move towards a carbon-neutral sector, the company has decided to more than double its ownership of solar cell installations in the coming years.

With a sustainability goal to be completely carbon neutral by 2028, Logicenters has decided to pioneer the use of renewable energy at its facilities.
The decision has been made to cover roofs with solar panels on all new builds and to install them on existing roofs where possible.

In total, Logicenters aims to install around 800,000 m2 of solar cells over the next three years. This area is equivalent to a total of 133 football pitches. In total, this investment would generate potential annual production of 85,000 MWh, sufficient household electricity for more than the whole of Östersund (24,290 households).

“The logistics property sector has the necessary conditions and therefore a responsibility to take a leading role in the expansion of solar energy on our large roof areas. We are also building for tomorrow, when solar power will be used to charge the electric distribution vehicles of the future. It is here that we at Logicenters feel we can make a big difference,” says Jon Malmsten, solar energy expert at Logicenters.

Over the last year, this ambitious solar cell strategy has already seen construction of the largest roof-mounted solar plant in the Nordic region, covering 80,000 m2. The plant was built for Dagab in Bålsta and is set to become operational in March.

“For me, it goes without saying that we should continue our commitment to solar energy for a carbon-neutral tomorrow. The property sector continues to account for 40% of global emissions and there is an urgent need to find better ways both to develop and to operate properties. Everyone must assume responsibility and it is our ambition to be at the forefront of the Nordic market,” says Matthias Kettelhoit, CEO of Logicenters.

Haglöfs moves to Eskilstuna – leasing 18,000 m2

Swedish outdoor brand Haglöfs is moving to Eskilstuna Logistics Park. This has been announced after the company signed a multi-year lease agreement with Logicenters for a total of 18,000 m².

Wiktor Haglöf started making rucksacks in a small cottage in Dalarna as long ago as 1914. Today, more than 100 years later, the company has grown into something completely different. Thanks to modern product development and strategic distribution, the brand has developed into one of the world’s leading suppliers of outdoor products.

A multi-year lease agreement has now been signed with Logicenters at Eskilstuna Logistics Park, enabling Haglöfs to moving into the logistics property company’s modern facility of more than 50,000 m². The property is equipped to function as a central warehouse for both start-ups and existing retail companies and is adapted for a combination of retail and e-commerce flows.

“We are delighted to welcome one of Sweden’s strongest brands into our property in Eskilstuna. Haglöfs is a growing company and we look forward to supporting its continued development at close quarters. I would personally like to express my thanks for the cooperation and I am convinced that the company will thrive in its new logistics centre,” says Fredrik Nygren, Commercial Manager at Logicenters.

Eskilstuna Logistics Park has an area of 420 hectares and is located just outside Eskilstuna with direct proximity to the motorway, railway and airport. The geographical location of the logistics park provides excellent transport links to Örebro as well as the Mälaren region and Stockholm, all of which contributes to optimal conditions for fast-growing retail companies and e-retailers.

There is also potential for Logicenters to expand further in the region, enabling both current and new tenants to expand in the future.

“My focus will continue to be on ensuring continuous and sustainable growth for Haglöfs. The partnership with Logicenters provides us with the ideal conditions for continuing to grow as a brand,” says Fredrik Ohlsson, CEO at Haglöfs.
